FIND THE RIGHT KIND OF PRACTICE
Reason about digit positions and compare possible numbers.
A digit changes a number differently depending on whether it is placed in the hundreds, tens or ones position. Choosing a position before seeing the next digit creates a useful opportunity to explain uncertainty and value.
Keep place-value reasoning separate from the game score: Number Maxing scores a round by the rank of an arrangement among the possible distinct arrangements, not by simply adding the three-digit numbers.
use the same three digits to make the largest and smallest possible numbers, including a repeated digit.
