A way to practice Math in a fun way✏️
Knock Out:
Give each student a number grid 1–10 or have them create one on paper. Each student also needs two dice and a pencil. The goal is to cross out each number on their grid.
To play, have each student roll both dice. They can use any operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division) to get one of the numbers. For example, if you roll 6 and 3, you could knock out 9, 3, or 2.
6 + 3 = 9
6 – 3 = 3
6 / 3 = 2
(6 * 3 = 18, which is too high to be on the grid)
You can easily adapt this game for younger students by limiting it to addition and subtraction.
To expand on this game, ask students to predict which numbers will be most challenging to get. Then ask how many ways they can find to get a particular number.
