Race to 100: The students worked in pairs and took turns to roll two dice, they had to add the total from their roll and then use the base ten blocks to record their score. Each player had to add and trade up as their score got bigger with each roll of the dice.
It can be a race to 50, or 100. If addition and trading up is going well you can direct the class to start subtracting so that they have to trade down as well. A simple activity that can be fun while students use mental strategies to trade while showing an understanding of place value.
Less than or Greater than: Still in pairs, students roll the dice and write down the number rolled in the thousands column of their laminated sheets, they roll again for hundreds, tens and ones. They either model this number in MAB blocks or write it using a whiteboard marker. Get them to read the number out loud to their partner and then work out whose number is greater than and whose number is less than their partners number.
