Activity Instructions

MATERIAL(S): Add/Subtract Mat, Colored ‘Marker’ Items (paper, dots, etc.), Dice

Each student receives nine items of the same color to mark spots on the Add/Subtract Mat. The winner is the first to get five of their items (or markers) in a row vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. Students roll dice to determine who gets the first turn. 

To begin their turn, a student rolls the die. If they roll an odd number, the student can place a marker on any available odd number. If even, then the student places a marker on any available even number. 

The students strategize as to whether they want to get five in a row or try to block other students from making five in a row. Once a student has a plan, they place their marker on the odd or even number specified by their dice roll.
