Highest number wins- Place value games in Willow maths set

Today in maths Year 3 were required to put their number and place value knowledge to the test! The winner of the game was the child with the highest three digit number.

In their pairs, they each rolled a die which was either in their favour (a 6 to put in the hundreds column ) or an unlucky 1!

Using their mathematical knowledge, the children needed to think carefully about where to place then number they rolled. For some children, risk-taking paid off. For others, it meant game over! 

Halfway through the game, Miss Rooney added another game changing rule. Children were now allowed to place a number they had rolled into their partner's three digit number! It caused a bit of upset when Archy decided to put a 1 in Miss Rooney's hundreds column!

Winners or losers, we all had a lot of fun applying our place value skills today!
