Set

Begin place value games by dividing the class into small groups and give each a select number of beanbags. Set challenge parameters such as having students create a number by throwing the correct number of beanbags into the ones, tens, and hundreds pockets. You could also have teams compete to make the largest/smallest number or to land the beanbags in the correct spots to make a number within a certain range. You can also use the goal in other number activities and classroom games such as horse when students try to land the beanbag in the same pocket as the previous student.

Goal features a durable Magnus ABS plastic frame with a nylon tarp. Each pocket in the goal represents a different place value. Assembly required. Set includes a goal (33"W x 48"H; 7 lb), 6 nylon beanbags (4" sq), and lesson direction. The included lesson direction details setup instructions, activities by grade level, learning objectives, and teaching suggestions to expand lessons. Accommodates 12 students. Recommended for Elementary and up.

Common Core Math Standards*:

  • K.NBT.A.1: Compose and decompose numbers from 11 to 19 into ten ones and some further ones, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each composition or decomposition by a drawing or equation (such as 18 = 10 + 8); understand that these numbers are composed of ten ones and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones.
  • 1.NBT.B.2: Understand that the two digits of a two-digit number represent amounts of tens and ones.

  • 2.NBT.A.1: Understand that the three digits of a three-digit number represent hundreds, tens, and ones ; e.g., 706 equals 7 hundreds, 0 tens, and 6 ones.

  • 2.NBT.A.3: Read and write numbers to 1000 using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form.

  • 3.NBT.A.1: Use place value understanding to round whole numbers to the nearest 10 or 100.

  • 4.NBT.A.1: Recognize that in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right.

  • 4.NBT.A.2: Read and write multi-digit whole numbers using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form.

  • 5.NBT.A.1: Recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left.
