Place Value Treasure Hunt Activities

Two Treasure Hunt activities designed for pupils to practice their understanding of place value. One requires pupils to convert words into figures, the other involves finding the value of an underlined digit.

Pupils can complete the task individually or in pairs. The cards should be cut out and stuck around the wall of the classroom. Pupils go and stand near one of the cards (in a pair or individually) - possibly whiteboards should be given to them for working out - and they start with that card. When they answer the question on the card they go and find the card that has that answer on, making a note of the order of the cards (the card numbers are at the bottom of the cards).

When they get round to the card they started at, pupils are done and come to you to check their work. The correct order is included in the documents so you can see quickly where any mistakes have been made.

Blank answer sheets are also included for pupils to write down the card numbers.
