Turn place value review into an interactive classroom game with this Balloon Pop activity! Place the included review cards inside balloons for students to pop and solve. The cards can also be used without balloons for task cards, math centers, partner work, or small-group instruction.

Students review a variety of place value and number sense skills while working with larger whole numbers.

Students will practice skills such as:

• Comparing larger numbers
• Ordering numbers from least to greatest or greatest to least
• Writing numbers in expanded form
• Writing numbers using expanded notation
• Identifying the value of a digit
• Finding 1,000 more and 1,000 less
• Applying place value understanding to five-digit numbers

This activity is designed for third and fourth grade and works well for whole-group review, math centers, test preparation, or an end-of-unit celebration.
