To gain understanding of place value and the base ten system through games Students will be able to describe their actions throughout the game and explain what each counter represents Place Value, Units, Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, Counters Ask a student to write a two digit number on a sticky note. The number cannot have two digits the same. Stick the number on your forehead so that all students can see it, ensure that they do not tell you the number. Begin to guess the number- introduce the game head count. hot/warm/cold- rules. Continue to guess and model your thinking throughout the game eg. Ask is the number 82? Hot. Now I know that the number has either an 8 in the tens place or a 2 in the ones place. Distribute sticky notes to pairs of students and a head count game mat and allow students to play.
