View Curriculum Codes   
Description

This game is a great way for students to practice adding decimals. First, they roll a pair of dice to find which numbers to add and then work to get 4 right answers in a row. You can use it as a part of rotations or give it to fast fishers to complete on their own.

This game is part of a larger unit where students learn the first skills of decimal operations (specifically focusing on addition and subtraction) and encourages them to sharpen their estimation and rounding skills, empowering them to critically assess and validate the reasonableness of their answers.
 

Suitable for
  • Fast Finishers
