Collecting More

Collecting More is a Grade 5 decimal place-value game for dividing whole-number card values by powers of ten. A die determines the number of zeros in the divisor and another roll controls how many cards form the dividend. Students then divide by the resulting power of ten, making the movement of decimal place value part of a game rather than an isolated rule.

Use it for partner or small-group practice after students have explored patterns in multiplying and dividing by powers of ten. Ask students to predict how the value will change before calculating.
