How to play
How to play
Players aim to generate the highest total by making the smallest number, largest number, an odd and an even number
In pairs, students roll the dice and relay run one student at a time to collect the number of bean bags/cards from the middle as represented by the dice. For example, if a student rolls a 4 they collect 4 bean bags/cards.
Players make and record the largest number, smallest number, an odd number and an even number using the numerals on the bean bags/ cards they collected.
Players use an efficient strategy to find the total of the 4 numbers made. return bean bags/cards to the middle and play resumes by rolling the dice again.
Play game again to consolidate efficient strategies.
