Description

Making Numbers is a simple dice game that is anything but simple. It’s a fun and flexible game that’s perfect for your numeracy rotations.
Students roll the dice and then put them together in unique combinations using different operations to try and get close to a numerical target.

With 5 different difficulty levels that start to introduce negative numbers and order of operations, your student can find their niche. We have even included a blank card that you can customise, or print and laminate and have them write their own figures on before starting.
