Materials needed for the Decimal Place Value War Card Game:

Included in the Decimal Place Value War Card Game Set:
9 Unique sets of decimal place value cards with varying skill levels:
- Decimal Place value to the tenths place
- Decimal Place value to the hundredths place
- Decimal Place value to the thousandths place
Teacher Instructions:
Print 2-4 copies of each set to make a deck. Use card stock or laminate for durability.
I highly recommend printing on card stock as students will be able to see through regular printer paper and cheat.
Another suggestion is to use one-sided scrapbook paper which is also not see through, but also makes the deck attractive on both sides.
More copies=more cards, longer game, more review
