Once a number is written, it cannot be moved. Another roll-another number written, and so on. The object is to be the player with the largest product when all four digits have been written. If a player has the largest possible product that can be made from the four digits rolled, there is a bonus for maxing out . Extend their understanding and use of arithmetic operations to fractions, decimals, integers, and rational numbers.
Students work in groups to explore fraction multiplication and division.
They solve the problems and then write in their math journals about the methods they used and the reasons they believe their answers to be good ones. Students complete their study of fraction addition and subtraction by reading about Egyptian fractions. Students use two-color chips to explore addition of integers. They each take ten chips and toss them ten times. Students may also keep a running total of points overall.
