Abstract
In the mathematics class, place value is considered
one of the ‘hard spots’ for the student as well as
the teacher. I am glad you addressed this issue in
the pullout of Issue II-1 of At Right Angles. Here is
a simple game I have used to help children practise
their understanding of place value up to four-digit
numbers. The objectives of the game are not just to
review place value but also to experience the learning
of mathematics through physical movement and
joint decision-making. Children move about within
a room in which each corner has an associated place
value, and learn how numbers are read aloud, how
‘exchanges’ are made between corners, and so on
