The Birds Worms and Apples : Math Game: K-5 by nstudor

Last crawled date: 3 years, 3 months ago

A Make 10 Game
Goal:
To get as many make 10 matches as you can
Directions:
1) You can decide how you want students to decide who goes first.
2) Players take turns rolling the dice
Match together any dice whose values add to exactly make 10
Every combination of make 10’s makes 1 apple and scores 1 point
If birds or worms are rolled, 1 bird eats 1 worm. If there is no bird to eat a worm,
the worm will eat one of the apples so a point can’t be scored for that apple.
If there is no worm for a bird to eat, the bird just won't eat anything.
3) You can decide how you want the game to end.
One possibility is the first person to get a certain number of points wins
Another possibility is everyone rolls the dice, let’s say, 5 times and keeps track of their points. At the end of the 5 rolls, the person with the most points wins.
I don’t like the students to disengage if they feel like they are going to lose while they are
playing the game, so I make a die that has 3 MOSTs and 3 LEASTs on it. We the roll that die to see if the person with the most wins, or the one with the least.
That seems to keep them engaged the entire time.
