New Place Value Games That Make Math Accessible for Every Learner

At EdQueries, we’re on a mission to transform learning into an engaging, confidence-building experience for every child—including students with autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, intellectual disabilities, and learners who thrive with visual structure and patient, step-by-step guidance.

This week, we’re thrilled to launch a brand-new collection of Number-Building and Expanded Form games designed specifically for the CBSE Grade 5 Mathematics curriculum. These multisensory, drag-and-drop activities bring place value concepts to life in ways that help diverse learners truly understand and retain what they’re learning.

🎮 Meet the Four New Games

1. Build the Number – Expanded Form Challenge

In this interactive game, children transform expanded form notation into complete numbers by dragging number tiles into their correct place value positions. The predictable layout and concrete visual elements make this especially powerful for visual learners, students with autism, and children with ADHD.

What learners gain:

• Deep understanding of expanded form
• Stronger number sense and place value mastery
• Enhanced visual-motor coordination
• Confidence through a supportive, low-pressure format

2. Build a 5-Digit Number: Create 52,406

Ready to tackle bigger numbers? This activity introduces ten-thousands and thousands places through hands-on construction. It’s perfect for learners who need multiple exposures to grasp new concepts and for neurodivergent students who learn best through interactive engagement rather than passive instruction.

Skills developed:

• Building 5-digit numbers with confidence
• Strengthening working memory
• Smooth transitions from smaller to larger number concepts

3. Reverse Build: From Expanded Form to Number

Students examine expanded form expressions and select the matching number from multiple-choice options. This quick-response format works beautifully for students with ADHD who excel at focused decision-making, and for learners with autism who appreciate clear, structured choices.

Learning outcomes:

• Analytical thinking and pattern recognition
• Comparing different number representations
• Practical application of place value concepts

4. Fill in the Blanks: Complete 54,023

In this supportive activity, learners identify missing digits and drag them into the correct positions to build the number 54,023. The gentle, step-by-step approach creates a safe learning space—especially valuable for children with intellectual disabilities, Down syndrome, or those who need extra processing time.

Benefits include:

• Identifying number patterns and relationships
• Building attention and sustained focus
• Developing problem-solving confidence in a judgment-free environment

💡 Why These Games Work for Neurodivergent Learners

Every EdQueries game is thoughtfully designed with the diverse needs of special education students at its heart:

✅ Reduces overwhelm through clear visual cues and uncluttered layouts
✅ Supports motor planning for learners with cerebral palsy using accessible drag-and-drop mechanics
✅ Provides comforting predictability that helps students with autism feel secure
✅ Allows unlimited practice so slow learners can master concepts at their own pace
✅ Enables self-paced progression that respects the learning rhythm of children with ADHD
✅ Builds genuine confidence for learners with intellectual disabilities through achievable challenges
