Place Value to the hundred thousands-
This game is a great way to review with students place value. It makes it fun and engaging for all.
I found out that a lot of my students have issues writing the numbers out. I gave each table a place value chart that was put into a page protector and allowed them to write the numbers into the chart using a dry erase marker. This made it easy for the children to write their numbers out before putting in on paper to actually see why it was written the way that it was. Here is the game:

Are you dying eggs this Easter? Here is an idea for recycling the cartons. You need a carton, some small manipulatives (I used beans) and the printables below. This game is a review of writing numbers in standard form. You have to pre-program the egg carton with the place value chart written inside. We are working on numbers through the hundred thousands place. Students shake the egg carton with the manipulatives inside. Player one has the top row in the carton and player two has the bottom row. After shaking they see where the erasers land and create the number. Example: maybe 3 landed in the hundred thousands, 1 landed in the ten thousands, 3 landed in one thousand and maybe 0 in the hundreds, 3 in the tens and 1 in the ones places. Then the number written is 313,031. Player two checks his number and then they compare using the greater, less than or equal to signs and record answers on the sheet. (See below).
