Two things coincided to make me buy Monopoly Millionaire
recently...first, lots of moms were talking about playing it
with their homeschooled kids because it must have been a hot
game this Christmas. Secondly, I10 was having trouble with place
value in large numbers. So, I thought...why not try to play and
we can talk about numbers in the hundreds of thousands with
zeros all over the middle! That will help. I have several
Monopoly purists in the house, but this is a quick game to play
and fits the bill for practicing with large numbers. We've been
working with place value in long division problems and that
throws my fifth grader for a loop sometimes...the quotient with
the zeroes in the middle. You know the ones. Here are a few
other resources for place value fun: Interactive Math Journal-
this is a nice little notebooking packet for math journaling.
She has some place value activities in here. Family Math- has
several games involving place value and estimating, money, and
digit value Math on the Level- Money
