Ones, Tens, Hundreds, Oh My!

First graders are really digging into place value this week!  Today they played a game called "Race for a Flat". To play this game, you need Base 10 blocks, a mat to collect your blocks on, and a die. Partners take turns rolling a die and collecting that amount of single cubes.  After each turn players must count up their total blocks and determine if they can trade in 10 singles for a stick of 10. The end of the game comes when you can trade in ten sticks of 10 for a flat of 100!!  Lots of great counting happened in our room today!!!
