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.

Once taught, kids can play these math dice games independently and practice key math skills. Add these math activities to your centers, math rotations, or fast finishers bin. Include the sample page to reduce interruptions during 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.

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!

Whether you’re starting a plants & garden unit o Whether you’re starting a plants & garden unit or just looking for an entertaining book to share this spring, grab a copy of Muncha! Muncha! Muncha!

This story follows Mr. McGreely as he finally starts the garden he’s been dreaming about for years. He plants lettuce, carrots, peas, and tomatoes. But after he goes to bed, a trio of hungry bunnies sneaks into the garden: Muncha! Muncha! Muncha!

Frustrated at the sight of gnawed sprouts, Mr. McGreely places a wire fence around his garden. But after he goes to bed, a trio of hungry bunnies sneaks into the garden: Muncha! Muncha! Muncha!

Mr. McGreely tries a tall wooden fence and a deep wet trench, but those hungry bunnies still manage to find a new way in. More furious than ever, Mr. McGreely builds a large creation. One that he’s sure will keep the bunnies out. But readers will delight in the final moments of the book as they discover one final surprise! 🥕🥕🥕 

This is one of my favorite books for spring. Swipe to see a peek inside along with a craft to pair with this funny story! The craft is just one part of my Muncha! Muncha! Muncha! book companion, which is available in my TPT store (tap the link in my bio).

Have you ever WANTED something so much that you fe Have you ever WANTED something so much that you felt like you NEEDED to buy it? Guilty! 

The concept of wants vs. needs can be tricky, especially for kids. So when I saw that Michael Rex wrote this new book, I knew I wanted it to have a home in my library.

The robots in this book need four things to survive:
- batteries for power
- arms to do work
- legs to move
- oil to run smoothly 

When one robot prioritizes wants before needs, it trades away its oil, arms, legs, and batteries for a pile of stuff that it can’t even enjoy. Fortunately, the author gives the robot a reboot. With a second chance, the robot is able to make better choices. In the end, the robots are happy to HAVE the things they NEED so they can ENJOY the things they WANT!

I am a BIG fan of fractured fairy tales! The Pois I am a BIG fan of fractured fairy tales!

The Poisoned Apple adds a dark, but humorous spin on the tale of Snow White. Like the classic version, an evil witch detests Snow White and plans to get rid of her once and for all with a poisoned apple. However, things take a detour after that.

The witch didn’t know that Snow White was on her way to deliver lunch to the dwarfs when she finally put the poisoned apple in Snow White’s hands. As a gesture of kindness, Snow White gives the apple to a dwarf. He ends up giving the apple to a hungry forest creature. Meanwhile, the witch watches her plot spiral out of control. Can she get the apple back before it’s too late? Or will this scheming witch discover that what goes around comes around?

What are your favorite fractured fairy tales?

EMPATHY We tell kids that empathy is being able t EMPATHY

We tell kids that empathy is being able to understand and share how others are feeling, or being able to put ourselves in someone else’s shoes to see things from their perspective. But how can we get kids to show empathy? One of my favorite ways is using books to share examples of empathy that kids can then emulate. When @hangingwithms.cooper told me she had a new book about empathy, I couldn’t wait to read it.

The Sunshine Rock: A Story About Empathy follows Alexis as she moves to a new city with her family. The night before her first day at a new school, her brother gives her a Sunshine Rock, which she can use whenever she needs more support. 

Alexis uses the rock to battle her nerves on the big day. After an embarrassing moment at the start of the day, the school counselor gathers the class for an important discussion about kindness and empathy. This challenges the class to find new ways to help Alexis feel welcome, included, and cared for in her new school.

This book would be great to share before welcoming a new student mid-year, but could also be read anytime your class needs a gentle reminder about showing empathy and kindness to others. A big thank you to Tahiya Cooper for sharing this new book with my family!

💛What are your favorite books about empathy?
