Which Number is Where?

place value · Identifying place value positions

Which Number is Where? is a Grade 4 team game for identifying place-value positions from millions through thousandths. The teacher writes a number, asks which digit is in a named place—or which place a digit occupies—and teams discuss before holding up the appropriate response card. Correct answers earn points for the group.

Use it for whole-class review when students are moving between large whole numbers and decimals. Requiring teams to use math language during discussion helps distinguish a digit, its place name, and its actual value.
