For homework this week the children have taken home a dice game to play with a partner. The idea is to make the children use three different operations reliably to find different totals. Using three dice, the children should create one and two digit numbers, multiplying, adding and subtracting numbers as they were shown in class on Tuesday. When the children have made a total, they can colour in a square on the grid.
For example
If Niamh rolls a 3, 4 and a 6, she could make these number sentences and colour in these numbers:
3+4+6=13;
or 4-3=1 then 1+6=7;
or 6+4=10 then 10+3=13;
or 6-4=2 then 2+1=3;
or 6x4=24 then 24-3=17 etc.
