8 cards on 2 pages in the default deck. The image shows its first page. Adding the reference set produces 4 PDF pages in total.
One to six pages of 4, 8 or 10 cards are generated. Values have exactly the chosen digit length; repeats are permitted.
The ready-made image shows page 1; each PDF contains the full deck. Cards with references adds a separate complete set with answers or annotations. These are not mirrored duplex backs and make no front/back alignment promise. Print at actual size and cut along the optional guides.
Customize this deckWhat changes the deck?
Fixed decks keep every card when density changes. Ordered fixed decks ignore the seed; choose Shuffled to use the seed for a different order. Time, number and money-amount decks generate a count from pages × density and can contain repeats.
Learning objective
What this activity builds
Read a numeral and explain the value represented by each digit.
Worked example
How can 58 be expanded by place value?
50 + 8.
The 5 represents five tens and the 8 represents eight ones.
Teaching notes
Make the practice count
- Choose one-digit cards for early recognition; that range includes zero. Two-digit cards are 10–99 rather than numbers with leading zeroes.
- The number of pages and density determine how many values are generated. Repeats can occur.
- Use reference expansions to discuss place value, not as separate flash-card backs.
