What kids practise

Place Value Elevator gives students repeated, low-pressure practice with place value, rounding, expanded form, and base-ten blocks. It is written for grades 1-3, with levels that let younger and older players start at the right difficulty. Every question is generated fresh, so a replay is never the same, and a wrong answer shows the correct one so the round teaches as well as tests.

How it plays

Controls: Tap the arrows on each floor (or type digits, use arrow keys, Enter to send). Rounding: tap a floor or press Up/Down. P pauses, M mutes.

It works with a keyboard, a trackpad or a touch screen, so it runs on school Chromebooks, tablets and phones.
