Expanded form game practice that builds real place value understanding! This Expanded Form Hundreds & Tens Game helps kids learn expanded form and standard form as they compose numbers from 11-999.

Expanded form shows the value of each digit, so 358 is written as 300 + 50 + 8. Standard form is the usual way to write the number. Players spin to build a number, write it in expanded form, convert it to standard form and then race to the End space.

With this expanded form game, you get

• Two games: composing to the tens' place and composing to the hundreds' place
• Spinners for both games
• Write & Wipe boards for both games
• Assessment/recording sheets
• Place value practice with numbers from 11-999

Print, laminate and spin your way to place value practice!

What's Included

• Game 1: Composing to the tens' place
• Game 2: Composing to the hundreds' place

• Write & Wipe boards for both games
• Assessment/recording sheets
• Game instructions

Why Teachers Love It

• Two levels in one: Start with the tens game, then move to the hundreds game when students are ready.
• Expanded and standard form together: Every spin has students write the number both ways.
• Built-in accountability: Players move only when the numbers are written correctly.
• Easy to check: Assessment/recording sheets show you what each student understands.
• Reusable: Laminated Write & Wipe boards are ready to play again and again.

Skills Students Practice

Primary Academic Skills

• Place value: Students see how many hundreds, tens and ones make up each number.
• Expanded form: Students write each spun number as a sum of its place values.
• Standard form: Students convert the expanded form into a standard number.
• Composing numbers: Students build two-digit and three-digit numbers from the spinners.
• Reading and writing numbers: Students work with numbers from 11-999.

Secondary Life & Learning Skills

• Taking turns
• Following directions
• Using mathematical language
• Waiting during group play
• Maintaining attention

How to Use It

Step 1: Print and laminate the spinners and Write & Wipe boards. Give each player a write and wipe board. Select the first player and place a marker on the "Start" space.

Step 2: The first player spins all the spinners one at a time, writes the spun numbers in expanded form on the top level of the write and wipe board, then writes the number in standard form on the bottom level.

Step 3: If the numbers are written correctly, the player moves forward the number of spaces shown on the unit place spinner. For example, in the hundreds' game a player who spins 300, 50 and 8 moves ahead 8 spaces. Play continues to the next player, and the winner is the first to make it onto the "End" space.

Materials You'll Need

• Paper
• Laminating Pouches
• Laminator
• File Folder (optional)

Easy Differentiation

Students come to place value with very different levels of understanding. The two games make it easy to meet each student where they are.

For Children Who Need More Support

• Start with the tens game
• Model one spin and write the expanded form together
• Use base ten blocks to build each number before writing it
• Read the number aloud together after each spin

For On-Level Practice

• Play the tens or hundreds game as written
• Have partners check each other's boards
• Use the recording sheets during center time
• Ask students to say the value of each digit

For an Extra Challenge

• Play the hundreds game
• Have students write the number in words too
• Ask students to compare their number with a partner's number
• Challenge students to say what number is 10 more or 100 more

For Speech, OT, ELL or Special Education Support

• Practice place value words such as hundreds, tens and ones
• Use a sentence frame such as "My number has ___ tens."
• Let a partner spin if spinning is hard
• Play with two players to keep the pace calm
• Give extra processing time before each spin

Perfect For

• Math centers
• Small groups
• Partner games
• File folder games
• Math intervention
• Assessment
• Early finishers
• Homeschool
