Beat the Teacher
.
Materials needed:
1 die –any kind, something to write on (scratch paper, white board, or journal)
Directions:
Teacher plays against the students. Make the “board” appropriate for the grade level
__________ ____________ ___________
Teacher rolls the die and announces the winning criteria.
This might be highest/lowest and even/odd. Everyone records the digit as soon as it
is rolled.
It may not be moved once it is recorded. (Teacher only shows her game board filling
while the students are learning the game.)
After all the rolls, Teacher shows her board.
Students who have “beat” the teacher stand up. To win a point, they must read their
number correctly.
To win a second point, they must answer a follow-up question.
Variations:
4,5,6 digit numbers
Play largest even, smallest odd, etc
Add a “discard box” where everyone can choose one roll to discard.
Play with decimals
Add 3 or 4 digit numbers and play highest even sum.
Number Clues
Model a number story for your students, such as “There are 7 tens, 1 one, and 9
hundreds.” Then have students write their answers. Divide the students into small
groups and have them write or tell each other their own number stories. You may
want them to use place value charts to help them solve.
Roll to 100
Students work in pairs to play this collaborative game. They take turns rolling one
or two dice and then showing the total of their roll with interlocking cubes or baseten blocks. They keep rolling and amassing more cubes or blocks and when they
have a group of 10 ones, they can swap it for a rod of 10. They can keep track of
how many cubes they have by lining them up on or next to a hundred chart. When
they have collected 100 cubes they can play again.
Walkabout
6
Take a walk with your child around the neighborhood. Look for one-, two-, threedigit numbers and have your child read them out loud. You may want your child to
record the numbers that he or she sees. Discuss each number and ask how many
ones, tens, or hundreds are in the number. What is the largest number you can
find? What is the smallest number?
Hat Trick
Write the numbers 0 through 9 on separate index cards or scraps of paper and
place them in a hat. Have your child draw one, two, or three cards out of the hat.
He or she can make different numbers. For example, if your child pulls the
numbers 3, 6, and 9, he or she can make 3, 6, 9, 36, 39, 396, 693, etc. Challenge
your child to make as many numbers as possible using the cards. What is the
smallest number your child can make? What is the largest number? Help your child
compare numbers by looking at the largest place values.
