How to run this board

Place value, rounding to the nearest ten and hundred, comparing numbers, and expanded form each get a column, with a final category that mixes all four the way a real worksheet would.

Read numbers aloud slowly and let teams write before buzzing - place value questions are easy to get right on paper and easy to fumble if a team has to hold the number in their head while racing to press first.

This one plays well even without buzzers: hold up number cards and have teams round or compare on mini whiteboards, then use the board just to track which square gets picked next.
