Find the right cloud!

Choose a grade, read BUILD on the panel, and jump through the place values from left to right. Wrong clouds pop away; all clouds keep falling while you jump!

Choose your grade

Each grade has its own number range and place-value sequence.

QUICK GUIDE

Watch the Gnome Jump!

For 47, choose 40 (tens), then 7 (ones).

How to play: Tap the cloud showing the correct tens or ones value. The gnome jumps onto it, and the other clouds pop away. Keep jumping before your cloud reaches the ground. Complete as many numbers as you can!

Place Value — Grades 1–5

Learn each place value, then jump on the clouds in the same order to BUILD the number. Every correct jump fills one box in the task panel.

Grade 1 · Two-Digit Numbers

Every two-digit number has tens and ones. The tens tell us how many groups of ten there are. The ones tell us how many extra units there are.

BUILD 4747 = 40 + 7Jump in this order: 40 → 7

Tens

4 tens =

40

Choose 40 on the cloud.

Ones

7 ones =

7

Choose 7 on the cloud.

2 correct jumps complete one number.

Grade 2 · Three-Digit Numbers

A three-digit number has hundreds, tens, and ones. Each digit tells you how many groups of that place value the number contains.

BUILD 365365 = 300 + 60 + 5Jump in this order: 300 → 60 → 5

Hundreds

3 hundreds =

300

Choose 300 on the cloud.

Tens

6 tens =

60

Choose 60 on the cloud.

Ones

5 ones =

5

Choose 5 on the cloud.

3 correct jumps complete one number.

Grade 3 · Four-Digit Numbers

Practice breaking four-digit numbers into thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones. Start with the largest place value and work to the smallest.

BUILD 2,4372,437 = 2,000 + 400 + 30 + 7Jump in this order: 2,000 → 400 → 30 → 7

Thousands

2 thousands =

2,000

Choose 2,000 on the cloud.

Hundreds

4 hundreds =

400

Choose 400 on the cloud.

Tens

3 tens =

30

Choose 30 on the cloud.

Ones

7 ones =

7

Choose 7 on the cloud.

4 correct jumps complete one number.

Grade 4 · Five-Digit Numbers

Build larger numbers using ten thousands, thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones. A digit is worth ten times as much when it moves one place to the left.

BUILD 45,38245,382 = 40,000 + 5,000 + 300 + 80 + 2Jump in this order: 40,000 → 5,000 → 300 → 80 → 2

Ten Thousands

4 ten thousands =

40,000

Choose 40,000 on the cloud.

Thousands

5 thousands =

5,000

Choose 5,000 on the cloud.

Hundreds

3 hundreds =

300

Choose 300 on the cloud.

Tens

8 tens =

80

Choose 80 on the cloud.

Ones

2 ones =

2

Choose 2 on the cloud.

5 correct jumps complete one number.

Grade 5 · Decimal Place Values

Decimals extend place value to the right of the decimal point. Each place to the right is one tenth the value of the place before it.

BUILD 6.2846.284 = 6 + 0.2 + 0.08 + 0.004Jump in this order: 6 → 0.2 → 0.08 → 0.004

Ones

6 ones =

6

Choose 6 on the cloud.

Tenths

2 tenths =

0.2

Choose 0.2 on the cloud.

Hundredths

8 hundredths =

0.08

Choose 0.08 on the cloud.

Thousandths

4 thousandths =

0.004

Choose 0.004 on the cloud.

4 correct jumps complete one number.

How the arcade works: New groups of three clouds appear automatically at an increasing pace. Tap the correct value before a group reaches the bottom; the two distractors pop. Your gnome jumps onto the selected cloud while the entire field keeps moving. A completed sequence scores one point. If the gnome’s cloud disappears completely behind the bottom task panel, the game ends. Press Pause to take a break.
