As I get ready for the coming school year, I wanted to upgrade one of
my math stations. I love using these
dice activities in all sorts of ways – small group, stations and whole
group. My kiddos seem to like them best
when they work with a friend at a station. They get a set of dice, find a comfy spot in
the room and work on numbers!
At the beginning of the year, we focus a lot on number recognition, so I made
an activity where they roll dice, count then number and write it down. Dice games are a great way to help kiddos
subitize (ha, sounds like scuba dive)!
As they get more comfortable with numbers, I have them write the number word as well.
Around October Break, when we begin talking about addition, I use the
dice game in a learning station as well.
They love it!
I had to get the foam dice because regular-stylie dice were out of control! Ah, much quieter!

Enjoy these fantastic math activities!Who doesn't love a FREEBIE?!
Thanks! I have my kids roll their dice on a paper plate - keeps down the noise level!!
