DICE WAR
What am I learning?
To play a game using number identification, basic facts and greater than/less than
How can I make sure I am successful?
I will follow instructions
I will watch the video
I will ask a whānau member to play
Activity description/steps:
Each player starts with 1 die and 5 rocks (or other small objects).
The objective of the game is to capture all of the other player’s rocks.
On the count of three, both players roll their die. The die with the greater number takes a rock from the other player.
Continue playing until one player has ALL 10 rocks..
You can use a timer set to (2-3mins) and keep a tally chart to declare the winner with the most rocks at the end!
Too easy? Try this….
Each player rolls a die, the first person to add up the sum of both die, steals the other player's rock. This can be done with subtraction and multiplication.

Double, Double, Boil and Bubble!
What am I learning?
*We are learning to double numbers with 2 or more digits.
How can I make sure I am successful?
*Check your answers with a family member or using a calculator. Did you get them correct? If yes -great! If not, why not? Share your strategy/method with a family member - it might need changing!
Activity description/steps:
Double the numbers listed on the activity sheet - try and do this in your head and write down the answers on a piece of paper!
If there are numbers that you struggle to double, how could you figure this out? Try a few different strategies..
Tip to help you: Your place value knowledge will be most helpful! For example, to double 175
We know 100 + 100 = 200
We know that 70 + 70 = 140
We know that 5 + 5 = 10
200 + 140 = 340
340 + 10 = 350
So… 175 doubled is 350
Do you have a different strategy for working out your doubles? Write these down and share these with us!
