Dicey Days

The Card Rules

The game is played in pairs. Two cards are drawn from the pile and each student receives one card. The students decide who will stand on the mat and who will give directions. One student stands on the mat on the number that is on their card. The other student directs them based on the second card but does not reveal the number. The goal is to direct the student on the mat to the second number with directions such as add 2, add 30, subtract 4, or subtract 50. When the student on the mat reaches the new number, the students switch places.

The Dice Decide

Each student chooses two cards from a pile of numbered cards and chooses one of the numbers to stand on and the number on the other card is where the student is trying to move to. Once the student stands on their number, they hand that card to their teacher. The object of the game is to be the first to move to the number on the card that the student is holding. The acceptable movements are based on the roll of the dice. If a 6 and a 4 are rolled, then the student can choose to add or subtract 6, add or subtract 4, add or subtract the sum, difference, product or quotient of 6 and 4.

Sieve of Eratosthenes

A prime number is a natural number that is greater than one and only has two factors, one and itself. Use the Sieve of Eratosthenes to find all the prime numbers up to 99.
1. Stand on the number one. One is special—it is neither prime nor composite.
2. Step to the number two. This number is prime. Skip count by twos, covering all
the multiples of two with black construction paper.
3. Move to the next number that is not covered with construction paper (in this case
it will be three). Skip count by threes and cover all the multiples of three with black
construction paper.
4. Continue the same pattern until one hundred. The numbers not covered in black
construction paper are the prime numbers.

Stupendous Square Roots

Follow the directions for Super Squares activity. After each square has been created, ask “what is the square root of the square number 4, 9, 16,” or whatever square number you are discussing. The square root is the number of rows or columns that make the square number. Ask “Who can figure out the square root of 25, 49, or 81?”

Super Squares

Put black construction paper down on the numbers 1, 2, 11, and 12. This makes a 2×2 square and the square number four. Have students count the four squares to discover that 2×2 is actually 4. Ask “What is the next square number? Who can guess?” Students can find the answer by covering the 3 by 3 square (covering the numbers 1, 2, 3, 11, 12, 13, 21, 22, and 23. Have the children skip count by threes, to discover that 3×3 is nine.

Continue laying down pieces of black construction paper to make additional square numbers.
