This is a fun activity that can be used for practice and reinforcement with place value concepts using decimals to the tenths, hundredths and thousandths.
The place value concepts go from billions to thousandths. I use it with fifth grade but it could easily be adapted to fourth or sixth and seventh. I have a similar game for lower grades available for free from this website, as well.
It is played in traditional "memory" style. Students turn the cards face down and take turns attempting to match numbers with their correct word form.
It could also be played individually. I use it as a warm-up game, review game, or choice board activity in my classroom.
If you have any questions, please email me: jen22577@yahoo.com. I will happy to answer any questions. If you purchase and are able to use this in your classroom, please come back and leave feedback. I would also appreciate any comments or suggestions! Thanks for looking!

This memory game has students match standard form and word form for numbers, including larger numbers and also decimals. This would make a great center or review activity. You could also use it with small groups. The only thing I would improve would be to make it more colorful. :o) Thanks for the game!

I have taught for eleven years in a variety of grade levels and socio-economic levels. I have enjoyed all grade levels that I have taught, and am enjoying my current work in Junior High! I have a B.S.I.S. from Midwestern State University and a Master's in Technology Integration from Nova Southeastern University. I have also worked as a Campus Technology Integration Facilitator, and have presented at local and regional conferences. I enjoy working with peers and students! They both provide new sets of challenges.
