Description

This is a quick and easy rotations game, where students roll up to 10 dice and lay them out on their card to create decimal addition and subtraction problems to solve on their own, or to exchange with a partner. Laminate and keep these cards or print them while you are running late for class, either way your students are going to enjoy trying to stump each other with the questions they create.
The game is a part of a larger unit that was written to help your Year 6 students add and subtract decimals and develop estimates through rounding to check their answers.
