Math Game

Project by scrollsaw posted 716 days ago 629 views 12 times favorited 11 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This is a project that I made from one that was all ready made. The game is fun to play there is one rule to the game,you do all the math in your head. you play by adding the number that you roll. ( example roll a 5&6 that is 11 so you can lay down 7,3,1 or 9,2 and so on ) object is to get all your number down, what is left you add up. Who ever gets to a certain number,lets say 50 is out. This is a great game to play with your kids or grandkids to help them learn math. The game and dice where made from pine wood thanks for viewing this project.

I guess you keep rolling as long as you can put down numbers. When You can’t use the total of the roll, You are done.

Is that it?

I got to say I hate math, but love the idea of the game. Did you also make the dice yourself?

Very cool. My father loved math and passed it on to his sons and this looks like a great way to pass it on my grandkids.

Very good. Easy game with learning involved. Just the ticket. Just what the kids need. I’ll bet it can be a lot of fun too.

my daughter is teaching a Grade 9 math class and the kids don’t have the basic skills. She’s having a struggle coming up with ideas that are “fun” and helpful. This looks like it fits the bill perfectly.
Awesome

Nicely executed! My brother found one of these games in his scavengings years ago. The instructions are just as described above. Very simple, and fun for kids (or if you’re creative and no kids are around…a good drinking game!)

Great idea Todd. Nothing like getting the brain to tick over.
