How To Teach Amount Comparisons

My name is Courtney. On behalf of Expert Village and in this clip I'm going to show you a game to practice place value. The first thing you need is a sheet of paper, really a half sheet will work, so I've just got a half a sheet of paper here. You're going to need to take another sheet of paper and cut it into small pieces, like I've done here. And then on those small pieces you're going to write a number zero to nine and you'll need to make sure you have all of the numbers from zero to nine. Then we're going to shuffle those up and set them to the side, face down. On your blank piece of paper you can draw some rectangles and it depends how much, up to what place value you want to practice. For younger kids you might only be practicing to a hundred, for older kids you could practice into the thousands. I'm going to go ahead and draw three rectangles here, cause we're going to practice up to the hundreds place. Then you're going to take the cards, and have them face down so you can't see them and you say "snap". When you say "snap" your child turns over the first card and puts it down. The object is to make the highest number possible. So, one is very low so I'm going to put that here. Then you say "snap" again, "snap", and they lay down their second card. Then you say "snap" again and they lay down their third card. Then they can look and evaluate to see if that's the highest number they could have made with their three cards. If you have more than one child they can compete to see who can make the highest number. You shuffle them up again, put them on the bottom and you go again, "snap", "snap", "snap". And again I evaluate and that is the highest number I could have made.
