What Is the Game of Place Value Used For?

Each wire of the Game of Place Value stands for one place: ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands and lakhs in the Indian system. With at most nine beads on a wire, a place can never hold more than nine, which is exactly the rule pupils need to learn. Building a number bead by bead shows why the same digit is worth more on a wire further to the left.

The game comes from digit challenges: given a set of digits, pupils form the greatest and the smallest possible number, then compare answers with a partner. Teachers can also call out a number in words for pupils to build, or build a number and ask for its expanded form.
