Model the addition and subtraction of decimals up to 3 decimal places using appropriate representations
Solve word problems involving the addition and subtraction of decimals up to 3 decimal places
Indoor or outdoor playing area
0-9 sided dice
Game board
Mathematics book
Determine target number, eg. 9.01.
Draw a game board so each student has the same one:
Players roll the dice and make number sentences using decimals.
Students take turns to roll the dice and build a number sentence that will result in:
the largest total
the largest difference
the smallest total
the smallest difference
closest to a target number, eg. 9.01
After each throw of the dice, players perform the exercise shown on the dice for 10 seconds, Eg.:
1 = squats
2 = wall sits
3 = front plank
4 = side plank L/R
5 = jumping jacks
6 = marching in place
8 = sit ups
9 = bounce ball
Vary the exercises
Use more or less dice
