Making Math Fun

Ok, whose students tire of endless worksheets? Who wants a fun way to learn math facts? This has proven to be one of the most versatile tools we have for math. This is a simple dice set, including the two white dice with numbers up to 12. 

We have used these in so many ways! We have rolled them and added them. We have multiplied and kept a running total to see who could reach a certain score first. We have played "WAR" with numbers using them, winning after a designated number of rounds. They will be great when we get into probability.

They actually did come with instructions for game play, but I have not read them yet because we have found so many great ways on our own to have fun with them. 

I found them at Staples, and they were inexpensive.
