Andrew’s game

Great game for practising counting on and back by place value parts. 

Need: A counter with + on one side, – on the other. A six sided dice. Make a dice with 3 sides 1 (ones), 2 sides 10 (tens) and 1 side 100 (hundreds). 

How to play: 2 players. Start at 500 written on a whiteboard (both players work with the same number). One person is trying to get to 0, the other to 1000. First person rolls and flips counter. The might get +2 10’s, and they change the number. Next person goes, they might get -5 1’s and they change the number. Keep playing until someone reaches their target number (or whoever is the closest after an amount of time).
