Rolling Numebrs

Roll two or more dice and create math equations to solve for.

PURPOSE

This activity ensures that learners know their math facts automatically.

• Step 1

  Ask the learner to decide what operation they wish to do (addition, subtraction, multiplication or division)

• Step 2

  Next, get two dice and roll them.

• Step 3

  Finally, solve the problem.

  For example: if they chose addition and rolled 2 on one dice and 3 on another dice, do 2 + 3 and solve this equation.

• Tip

  Assist the learner in creating their own dice like the picture!

• Additional Exercise

  If the learner wants to work with bigger numbers, then change the numbers on the dice.

• Simplified Exercise

  The learner can play this with a partner or in a group, and whoever has the most correct answers, wins.

• Fun Twist

  Set a timer for the learner and keep rolling the dice and solving the equations. Start the timer again and then tell the learner to try to beat their previous score.
