Colour in decimats – part 2
Now that you have made your game board, you are ready to play!
Watch the video to learn how to play.
Hint! The instructions are also included below in case you need them.
Colour in decimats – part 2
Duration: 13:54
Instructions:
Take turns to roll the dice, spin the spinner and fill in the game board. For example:
If a 2 is rolled and ‘hundredths’ are spun, we record our move as a fraction (2/100) and as a decimal (0.02).
Colour in on the game board.
Complete the ‘What I filled’ column in words (2-hundredths).
Calculate the total and record as a decimal.
Example of a game board
Helpful information:
Use a different coloured marker or pen to fill in the game board for each turn.
The winner is the first player to fill in 1-whole (their entire game board) or the player who’s game board is closest to 1-whole after 10 spins.
If a player spins a fraction that won’t fit into the available space, they miss their turn.
Example: partitioning 3-tenths
If you roll 3-tenths but you only have 2-tenths left empty, and some hundredths too, you can partition your 3-tenths as 2-tenths, 8-hundredths and 2-hundredths more to colour in 3-tenths of your game board in total.
Reflection:
What was the difference between the totals for each player? Work it out one way then work it out another way.
If you played again, what would you do differently?
