We have a plethora of dice that fit the needs of so many teachers, including standard dice, number recognition dice, math word dice, foam dice, plastic number dice, and eraser dice. You can pick and choose the ones that work for you and your classroom to create a unique, hands-on learning experience. I know at times I needed quiet activities and other times, the noise didn’t matter. I’m excited that we are able to share several exciting options with you! Today, I decided to focus on some quick and simple center activities for you.
The first game is very easy and gives a student the opportunity to practice simple addition. Students simply roll two dice and record their findings on the activity sheet provided. In the sample, we show our eraser dice that allow the center game to be a very quiet activity. If you aren't assessing your students and don't need a copy of their work, simply make one copy and use one of our dry erase sheets in your center for a great reusable option.
The second activity helps reinforce place value and engages students. The objective is for a student to create a number using a set of dice. Since you have students with different needs, we also wanted you to be able to differentiate the activity, so we provided two versions of the activity sheet.
Using our math dice manipulatives allows students to practice mathematical concepts on a regular basis, yet in a fun way. We love providing you with tools that make your classroom life easier, so check back often for new ideas!
