Build a wall with dice

We will be posting ideas for games that will compliment the iSURF(c) approach to the Australian Curriculum and AusVELS every Sunday night! So watch this space and spread the word.

 

This week it is "Build a wall with dice"

 

This game uses Solving Problems and Fluency from our iSURF(c) approach

You will need

A six sided dice

Unifix - or any blocks that will stack - or grid paper

 

You can play in pairs or as a whole class using blocks on the Smartboard and a large dice

 

Rules

Decide what the wall will be ie 10x6 or 12x10, or whatever number facts you may be working on

Take it in turns and roll the dice

The first player stacks the number of blocks that has been rolled

The second player, rolls and may choose to put their blocks next to or on top of

The winner is the one who completes the wall

 

You may use addition or subtraction, add extension/support by using a 4/8/10/20 sided dice

or

use grid paper and two colours - one for each player
