Hand-on Fun with Dice

Adding with dice. Depending on skill level, let the child roll two or more dice. Have the child add the dots or numbers shown. You can give points for each correct answer. Award accordingly if you want.

Multiplying with dice. The child would roll two dice and multiply the numbers. Here are some embellishments.

  • Working on a particular set of tables: If your child is learning the 4's, for example, make dice for this...one die will just have a 4 on it and the other will have numbers 0-5 or 6-11.
  • Combining skills for greater difficulty: Give the child two dice of the same color, and one of another color. The child could add the two same-colored dice together, and then multiply the sum by the number on the other die.
  • Advanced: As in above, more dice of the same color can be used. Add up the numbers of each color, and then have your child use paper and pencil to multiply the factors. More fun would be the use of a small white marker board. Old socks and washcloths make great erasers!

Place-value exercises.

  • Ones and tens place: Use two dice. Have your child roll the dice. On marker board, or paper, have them write the largest and smallest number using the two numbers or dots shown.
  • Ones, tens, hundreds: Use three dice and same instructions as above.
  • Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands: use four, etc. Continue adding dice as skill level increases.
Make sure your child uses commas when she writes out the number. Have your child repeat the words ones, tens, hundreds, etc. as they do these exercises.

Value of a given digit in a number. There is a difference in place value and the value of a digit in the number.
