Math - Place Value War Game

Level:  Grades 2-6

Skills:

Identification of two-digit numbers

Comparing numbers

Place Value

Players: 2

Materials:

Playing cards Ace (=1) through 9

Paper & Pencil for each player

Getting Started:

Players divide the playing cards evenly between themselves. Each player turns over two cards to create a two-digit number. The number on the first card turned over represents the number that will appear in the tens place; the number on the second card represents the number that will appear in the ones place.

Both players call out their numbers. (You might have them verbalize: “Six tens and two ones equals sixty-two.”) The player with the largest number gets all four cards.

In the event of a tie (if each player has the same 2-digit number), war is declared.

• First, each player places three cards face down.
• Then each player turns over two more cards and adds the second two-digit number created by those cards to the original 2-digit number from the tie.
• The player with the largest sum gets all of the cards.

Play continues until one player has collected all of the cards in the deck.

Variation:

• Players turn over three cards & build numbers into the hundreds.
