Description
These math guessing games create high levels of student engagement and rigor, while helping kids develop math vocabulary and a deeper understanding of number sense and place value to the ones, tens, and hundreds place. Your students will love these place value games!
Using the classic GUESS WHO game boards, students ask yes or no questions to try and guess their opponent’s mystery number. It takes a lot of skill to not only formulate questions, but also eliminate numbers based on their opponent’s answers. These number sense games are perfect for math centers or early finishers!
This place value game includes 4 game versions that can be used for differentiation or to switch out as your students progress through the school year:
✅ Numbers 0-23
✅ 2 Digit Numbers
✅ 3 Digit Numbers
✅ Mixed Numbers (a combination of 1, 2, and 3 Digit Numbers)
Each of the 4 versions includes:
- Game Board Number Cards (to fit into the game board flaps)
- Mystery Number Cards (contains the number that opponents are trying to guess)
- “1 Sheet” game board template for the newest Guess Who game boards
- A “Cheat Sheet” (a visual reference sheet for students to use if they get stuck thinking of questions to ask). The more they play, the less they will need the Cheat Sheet!
Example questions:
- “Does your number have a 6 in the hundreds place?”
- “Is your number an even number?”
- “Is your number greater than 30?”
- “Does your number come between 345 and 350?”
*GAME BOARD COMPATIBILITY*
Templates are included for THREE versions of Guess Who (other versions may have different dimensions, and therefore the templates will not fit):
- An original version of “Guess Who?” (no longer sold on Amazon)
- The newer version of Guess Who on Amazon
- The newest “Easy-to-Load One Sheet” game on Amazon (this one provides the easiest prep- no needing to cut small pieces or cards)!
If using the newest easy-to-load one sheet version, please note that you will need to print on white cardstock. Regular copy/printer paper falls out of the game boards too easily.
