Free Scavenger Hunt | Place Value | 7 digit whole numbers | Year 6

I usually find place value 7 DIGIT WHOLE NUMBERS such a boring topic to teach. This year, I was determined to make some resources that meant it wasn’t such a mundane topic. Ladies and gents, I present to you…. my 7 digit whole number place value scavenger hunt. I used this fun, practical activity with my Year 6 class (but could also be used with Year 5) and it was a total hit. They spent the lesson on their feet excitedly searching for answers and solving the twenty place value questions.

Best of all, it’s minimal prep – just print and hide – so all you have to do is chill and enjoy your evening.

Your class will be asked 20 questions like:

• What value is in the hundred thousands column in the number 976 234?

• Rearrange these cards to make the largest multiple of 3….

• Which number is greater – 650 213 or 653 210

How to use:

Minimal prep before the lesson: Print and hide the 20 scavenger hunt cards around the classroom, hall or playground. Print out the recording sheet – enough for one per group. Children will need one pencil or pen per group and something to lean on like a clipboard.
Working in pairs, solve the scavenger hunt question at the bottom of the page in the pink box.
Hunt for the answer which will be in a blue box at the top of the page on another card hidden somewhere around the room.
Once you’ve found that scavenger hunt card, record the letter in the yellow star and answer the question in the pink box underneath.
Now you can hunt for the corresponding answer on another hidden scavenger hunt card.
Repeat until you have completed the 20 question loop.

I hope that this resource brings fun and creativity to your classroom.
