Numbers Bee
September 06, 2006
I play a game with my students that I call Numbers Bee. Like a Spelling Bee, the students line up and take turns answering, but instead of hearing a word and spelling it, I write a number on the board and the student has to say it correctly. You can do it with kindergartners that are just learning their numbers, or with older students that are learning fractions and decimals. Besides reinforcing their place value skills, children learn not to say 'and' in a number (for example, 2006 should be read as two thousand six, not two thousand and six, while 200.6 should be read as two thousand and six tenths).
