Race to a Million is a fun, flexible Year 5 place value game designed to get children talking, thinking, calculating and reasoning while they play. Children race along the mountain game board, rolling a die and deciding the place value of the digit they have rolled. They build a running total towards their chosen target while encountering Action Cards, Maths Challenge Cards, rewards and unexpected twists. The pack includes a mountain game board, teacher guide, Challenge Card answer key, Player Place-Value Board, 15-round recording sheet, Target Cards, 20 Action Cards, 20 Maths Challenge Cards and star rewards. Children practise place value, powers of 10, addition and subtraction, rounding, comparing and ordering numbers, mathematical reasoning and explaining their choices. Different target numbers allow children working at different levels to play the same game together. Teachers can also select Action Cards appropriate to each child’s target and number range. Ideal for Year 5 place value lessons, mixed-attainment groups, intervention, tutoring, revision, consolidation and maths stations. Includes 8 printable PDF files.
