From the Team 1/2 classrooms:

Throughout this term students in Years 1 and 2 have been investigating place value. Place value is the worth of each digit within its place in a number. They have learnt about thousands, hundreds, tens and ones. Students have been recognising, ordering, partitioning, and modelling numbers in written form and with concrete materials such as bundling of sticks or MAB. As well as practising skip counting and rearranging digits to create the biggest and smallest number. One activity the students have enjoyed is playing “Place Value Master Mind”. This activity involves one person thinking of a secret 2, 3 or 4 digit number that their partner has to guess. If they guess;

Correct digit in correct place value it is given a green dot or tick,
Correct digit in the wrong place value it is given an orange dot or a question mark,
Wrong digit (that is not in the number at all) it is given a red dot or cross.

This is an activity you may like to play and practise with your child in the school holidays!
