Input Activities

A ppt game designed to be used while teaching place value with base 10 blocks. The children use a selection of 1’s, 10’s and 100’s as well as a whiteboard and pen, to either show the number that is being represented in blocks, or use the blocks to make a given number. This is a great activity for quick teacher assessment and can be used at the start of a unit to help with grouping or at any point to assess learning so far. I used this resource with a clever little Grade 1 class, but it is easily used from year 1-6 as the numbers/blocks can be adapted to suit.
