Odd to a Thousand
place value · comparing three-digit numbers and adding points
To compare numbers up to 1000, to add within 1000 [2.NBT.A.4] [2.NBT.B.7].
Odd to a Thousand is a Grade 2 place-value game that combines three-digit comparison with a running score. Students build three-digit numbers from cards and compare them, then a dice sum determines whether the higher or lower number earns points based on odd or even. The round structure keeps students reading, building, and comparing numbers up to 1,000.
Use it in a small group when students are working with hundreds, tens, and ones and need repeated comparison practice. Saying each number aloud before comparing helps connect place-value notation with number language. Create a free Find a Math Game account to generate lesson support for Odd to a Thousand.
