The purpose of this activity is for students to learn Stage 2 of the Get Your Numbers in Order center. Students use their understanding of relative magnitude to order three-digit numbers. They take turns placing numbers on the gameboard so that the numbers across the board go from least to greatest. If a number cannot be placed on the gameboard students say “pass” and get 1 point. Then it is their partner’s turn. The player with the fewer points when all the boxes on the board are filled is the winner. Students should remove the cards that show 10 before they start.

Consider laminating gameboards or placing them in sheet protectors so they can be used multiple times.

• “How did you decide where to place your numbers on the gameboard?”
