I have a roll and color addition activity to share with you today.
How to play this addition game
This addition game is perfect for students to play in pairs.
- each player has a different colored pencil
- players take turns to roll 3 dice and find the total
- encourage your l earners to 'look for a ten' in the three numbers they have rolled if possible
- encourage other addition strategies - doubles, doubles +1, known facts to help with finding the total
- players color a square that matches their roll, if available
- the player who is last to color a square is the winner
When should I use this activity?
This is perfect for students who are confident with the concept of addition (combining two groups or growing a group). These students can 'count on' (they naturally count from the larger number when finding the total) and are beginning to build a memory of addition facts and mental strategies.
Use it in math centers, small group rotations or for fast finishers.
