Materials:
• a pair of dice for each pair of students or group of three
• a card for each person
Directions:
• Roll a pair of dice. Add the amount. Each player chooses which one of the three
boxes in the round to write the total in.
• Take turns rolling until the round is filled (three rolls).
• Next, evaluate each expression and write the answer in the box in the last
column.
• Continue with the remaining rounds and total your answers.
• The player with the highest final total is the winner of the game.
Make it easier: Use one die instead of a pair.
Make it harder: Multiply (instead of adding) the total of the dice.
Make it harder: Use a colored die (negative) and a white die (positive).
