Math Dice Games

August 10, 2020

Kids love to play dice games, but some teachers shy away from them due to management issues and lack of time. When you combine dice games your students can play independently AND practice math skills at the same time, it’s a win-win situation for the classroom. I want to share my favorite math dice games that your students can play in the classroom or from home.

Printable Math Dice Games

In the classroom, these dice games can be used during math workshop, math rotations, or center time. Once you introduce the dice games, students can play them independently so you can work with a small group.

Many of the games come with multiple versions so you can differentiate within the classroom.

Once taught, kids can play these math dice games independently and practice key math skills. Many games have options for differentiation, too. Add these math activities to your centers, math rotations, or fast finishers bin.

 

By placing the pages inside dry erase pockets or sheet protectors, students can play these games over and over again with different results. This will help keep your copy numbers down. As a bonus, most of my games include sample pages. Place these behind the game pages so students can refer to them without interrupting your small group time.

Here are links to my favorite dice and dry erase pockets. I have had good luck finding dry erase pockets in the Target Dollar Spot. You can also buy a large box of sheet protectors. These are a great alternative to the pockets. Don’t forget to stock up on dry erase markers!

 

Here’s a peek at the activities included in the dice games bundle.

Kids love to play dice games! Add these math activities to your centers, math rotations, or fast finishers bin to boost engagement. This bundle helps students practice addition, subtraction, place value, and more!

 

Digital Math Dice Games

Because many schools are continuing with remote learning and/or social distancing this fall, I wanted to include digital options that would be useful for teachers and students. In addition to the printable packs, my dice games include two different links for Google Slides.

Google Slides with Dice

This option uses a script program to animate the dice directly on the pages within Google Slides. I have included more information in the resource about how to grant permission for this script to run within Google Slides. Once the script is running, students select Dice > Roll Dice from the menu to animate the dice.

Here’s a peek at the Dice Games Bundle in action.

This video shows the Multiplication Dice Games in action.

For middle and upper elementary, I also have a set of Division Dice Games.

Google Slides without Dice

If your school does not allow you to run the script within Google Classroom, don’t worry. The dice games are still available as a digital option, but you will need to provide physical dice or another website in order for students to play the games.

These digital math dice games allow your students to play in the classroom or at home in Google Slides. Students can practice addition, subtraction, place value, and more in a fun and engaging way!

“Even the smallest can help make the biggest cha “Even the smallest can help make the biggest change.”

In this story, the smallest turtles have always climbed on top of the biggest turtles to reach the freshest fruit. The big turtles would eat the fallen berries which were often sour and rotten. It’s just the way it’s always been. But Littlest Turtle doesn’t think that’s fair, so he makes a plan to change the way things are done. But can he get the rest of the turtles to agree?

This new picture book shares an important message about using your voice to speak up for what is fair and right. Swipe to take a peek inside!

Where were the picture book biographies when I was Where were the picture book biographies when I was growing up? Sharing the stories of others through picture books offers kids a glimpse into the accomplishments and lives of others in an engaging and meaningful way. It allows kids to see the potential of big dreams, hard work, and overcoming obstacles, while also helping them broaden their knowledge of the world around them. And when kids connect with the person whose story is being told, they are bound to find even more books about them to learn more. 

Here are three new picture book biographies to check out. Thank you to the publishers for these #gifted copies!  Swipe to take a peek inside each book.

Just because my kids are back in school doesn’t Just because my kids are back in school doesn’t mean our trips to the library have stopped. Here’s what came home on our latest visit. Let me know which titles catch your eye!

And all of that magic is on display in this beautifully written and illustrated book that follows one book’s journey through the hands of many different readers.
