Suggested use

I use this game often and have always found it very effective for teaching the concept of place value. Simply roll a dice, adding that number of pop sticks to the Units column, until you have more than 10. Then bundle them up into groups of 10 and move them to the Tens column and so on! Even very young students can learn to play the game quickly and easily and older students who are struggling with place value always benefit greatly from this game.
