5. The nice game Use the digit cards and place value grid.
Shuffle and place in a pile.
Take turns to place them into one of the spaces on your place value grid.
Keep going until all of the cards have been used. You can place cards on top of others, but all of the spaces need to be filled.
The winner is the one with the highest number.
