Roll the Dice

1st Grade Math Activities: Roll the Dice

Practice adding in a whole new way! You'll need five dice, paper and a pencil in order to get started. Shake those dice and try to roll big numbers. Then add them up and cross your fingers. If your sum is larger than the other players’ sums, you win!

Guide your child through the process at first, and gradually let him take ownership of the game. You'll see his confidence with addition improve in no time!
