ALIGN THE POINTS

ALIGN THE POINTS is a Grade 5 decimal subtraction game that uses cards and a die to build decimal numbers with changing decimal-point positions. Players reveal digits, use the die to determine where the decimal point belongs, and subtract the smaller value from the larger. That setup makes careful place-value alignment part of every subtraction problem.

Use it for partner practice when students need to slow down and attend to tenths, hundredths, and whole-number places before computing. Ask them to estimate the difference first so they can notice an answer caused by a misplaced decimal point. Generate the lesson for ALIGN THE POINTS with a free account.
