ROLL ON PLACE VALUE LEVEL: 3 – 7
SKILLS: comparing place value to 100,000’s, identifying and expanding place value, probability,problem solving, reading large numbers
PLAYERS: 2 (1 vs 1)
EQUIPMENT: tray of dice (each player needs 18 of their own color), gameboard, recordingsheet
GOAL: to be the player to create the greatest hundred thousands number for the round
GETTING STARTED: Both players take all 18 dice and place them to their side. The black tray is placed on the place value gameboard on page 24. The round begins by Player One rolling a die and selecting a slot in their first row to place it into.
EXAMPLE: Player One rolls and slots it into the thousands value and says “4 groups of thousand is four thousand; my number so far is four thousand.”
Player Two rolls and slots it into the ten thousands place and says “5 groups of ten thousand is fifty thousand; my number so far is fifty thousand.”
Players continue to alternate turns rolling one die at a time, placing it into a slot, verbalizing its value and reading their number as a whole as it exists at that point.

ROLL ON PLACE VALUE After all six dice are rolled for the round, players read their numbers they’ve made out loud. Players determine whose number is greater, and that player wins the first out of three rounds.
EXAMPLE:
This round was won in the hundred thousands place. Player One was greater by about 300,000. Players have another two rounds to play with their left over dice and play a “best out of three” game.

ROLL ON PLACE VALUE
MATH JOURNAL WORK AND EXTENSIONS: 1. Have students record their numbers in standard form and record their opponent’s number in
standard form. Show by circling where the round was won.
2. Expand number after each round. See page 22 for using the tray as an expanding tool.
3. Award bonus point to player with greatest valuewhen tray turned upside down (Player One nowhas the greatest number beginning with two-hundred thousand). Note how tray has beenflipped upside down using the example at the topof the page. New numbers are: 116,446 244,536

MIXED OPERATION SUPER MUSH LEVEL: 3 – 8
SKILLS: multi-operations, order of operations, problem solving
PLAYERS: 2 (cooperative team) vs all teams in the class
EQUIPMENT: tray, recording sheet
GOAL: to fill up the tray with all 36 dice with multi-operational math sentences that match theselected target
GETTING STARTED: All dice are removed from the tray and “super mushed” – i.e. scrambled and rolled for about 20 – 30 seconds. The teacher calls stop and the dice are then set for the activity. To begin, all teams now hunt for multi-operational combinations of dice that match the target number and place them into their tray.
Teams must use 3, 4, or 5 dice in combination and must use at least 2 operations in each math sentence. All four operations can be used.
EXAMPLE: Target called is “10”
2 x 5 x 1 = 10
(6 ÷ 2) + 5 + 2 = 10
(4 ÷ 2) + 6 + 2 = 10
1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 6 = 10
6 + 5 – (3 ÷ 3) = 10
4 + (2 x 2) + 2 = 10
6 + 3 + (2 ÷ 2) = 10
(5 + 5) x 1 x 1 x 1 = 10

MIXED OPERATION SUPER MUSH
When time is called, teams can total scores as follows:
1. All number sentences of 3 dice = 3 points
2. All number sentences of 4 dice = 6 points
3. All number sentences of 5 dice = 10 points
4. Any dice left over and not in the tray when time is called are totaled at face value andsubtracted to get a team’s final score.
VARIATIONS: 1. Use exponents.
2. Use integers – all blue dice are negative values, all white dice are positive values. Targets caninclude negative values.
EXAMPLE:Target: –11
52 - – (62) = –11 ww ww
–5 – 5 – 1 x 1 x 1 = –11b b b w w
