Place Value Task Cards (Printable and Digital)

Practicing place value for numbers up to 1,000 has never been more fun! Place value task cards make practicing this skill more of a game than work. These task cards are ideal for second grade, but could be used with a variety of grade levels, intervention groups, tutoring, etc.

Now included are DIGITAL TASK CARDS for the Boom Learning Platform. That means these task cards can be printed out and used with paper and pencil, or they can be played on a device (ipad, Chromebook, computers, tablets, smartboards, etc.). This makes them perfect to assign for digital learning from your virtual classroom, but could work just as well in a traditional classroom.

A note about Boom Cards

Boom Learning is a digital platform that allows you to play digital task cards. Students LOVE this because each card seems like a game and they get immediate feedback on their answer. Teachers love this because it is easy to use, no prep, engaging, and overall a great way to review topics covered in class.

The cards are set to play randomly and only show 20 cards at a time (all of my sets include 32 cards total), which means that students can play this multiple times and will be shown different cards, in a different order and possibly even have the answers show in a different order depending on the type of card.

You need a FREE Boom Account to play, but if you upgrade to a premium account, you get access to your students scores so you can check for mastery. Based on how many students you have, how you plan to use BOOM cards, if you are going to create decks, if you are going to sell decks, etc. there are different levels of accounts and BOOM can help you find the right one for you.
