This is book is perfect for a Friday afternoon! I don't have to plan and my kids practice essential math skills while having fun! --Sue Rhan, 5th Grade Math Teacher
Product Description
Many dice games have been pased down through the centuries. A few of the games have even been modified an then marketed by commercial vendors. Unfortunately, few resoures are available provide a link betweenthis powerful motivational tool and mathematics instruction in grades 2-8. That is the purpose of this resource book. It is our hope that you are children/students will not only be able to relive the excitement of playing dice games but that hey will also sharpen their math skills. The games and activites usually stimulate a discussion as a follow up to each session. These discussion are important becaue tehy enhance students vocabulary development, speaking skills, links to the math content, and provide opportunities to suggest imporvements to a game or to design a new games. Some games pages 5,13,15,21,39, 42, 47,55 are generic in nature and designed to be modified by teachers/parents or students. The games and activies are also useful ideas to send home to families, or as summer fun.
