Description
Time to Tile: Decimal Place Value on a Number Line is a hands-on activity that takes students’ thinking beyond procedures and rote memorization. This engaging resource activates critical thinking and problem-solving skills, all while developing algebraic thinking. Students must place 10 number tiles (0-9) on the Time to Tile cards in order to identify various decimal numbers on number lines. Each number line is created based on a “zoomed in” portion of the number line above it, which helps students recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left.
This resource is now provided in printable and digital formats (Google Slides).
This resource includes:
•30 different Time to Tile cards
•An “Answer Recording Sheet,” where students can record their answers so they can be corrected later. This allows the resource to be used as a perfect independent or center activity.
•Answer keys
•Management and organization tips for successfully implementing Time to Tile in your classroom.

My students enjoy this as a challenge.
Perfect for practicing tricky number lines! I love that each line down was a "zoom in" of the line above it. Made that a great connection for my students. They had a lot of success with this, and loved using the tiles!
My intervention students used this in a unit on place value. It really helped them solidify their understanding of 10x bigger and 10x smaller, as well as what values were possible between two decimals, for example between 3.4 and 3.5.
Perfect and fun!!!!
Love all of your resource and how you create hands-on activities for math.
