Place Value Race

Place Value Race is a Grade 5 decimal game for converting between standard and expanded form. Players move along a board with dice, then draw a card based on the space they land on and convert a decimal from one representation to the other. The race format gives repeated practice moving between notation forms while keeping place-value relationships central.

Use it for partner or small-group review when students are learning decimal expanded form. Ask students to read each expanded expression aloud before converting it so the role of each place value stays explicit.
