Place Value Concentration
Directions:
• Cut out the game cards out below
• This game can be played with 2 players.
• Turn the cards onto the blank side and line them so that there are an equal
number of cards in each row.
• The youngest player goes first.
• Each player has a chance to turn over two cards at a time. The object of the
game is to find the cards that match. For example: “I have 2 ones and 1 ten”
matches with “I am 12”. Draw a picture with base-ten blocks if you need to!
• If the cards do not match, then the cards should to be turned back to the blank
side. If the cards match, write down the problem. For example “2 ones and 1
ten = 12”.
• Whether there is a match or not, the next player chooses 2 cards, taking turns
until all cards have a match. Make sure you write down all problems, even if
they are not your matches!
• The player with the most sets of matched cards at the end; wins the game!
