Number Recognition & Counting
Roll & Read
1 cubeRoll one cube and say the number out loud. Take turns and practice recognizing numbers quickly.
Count the Total
2 cubesRoll two cubes. Count all the numbers shown by counting up from the first cube. Say the total out loud.
Highest Number Wins
1 cube per playerEach player rolls one cube. The player with the highest number wins that round. First to 5 wins!
Comparing Numbers
Greater Than/Less Than

Simple Addition
Add Them Up
2 cubesRoll two cubes. Add the numbers together and say the sum. Example: Roll a 3 and 4, answer is 7.
Race to 20
1 cubePlayers take turns rolling one cube and adding to their running total. First player to reach exactly 20 wins!
Make 10
2 cubesRoll two cubes. If they add up to 10, you score a point! Keep rolling until someone gets 5 points.
2nd – 3rd Grade

Difference Game
2 cubesRoll two cubes. Subtract the smaller number from the larger number. Say the difference.
Target 50
2 cubesRoll two cubes and add them. Keep a running total over multiple rolls. First to reach exactly 50 wins!
Multiplication Facts
Multiply It!
2 cubesRoll two cubes. Multiply the two numbers together. Example: Roll 3 and 4, answer is 12.
Multiplication War
2 cubes per playerEach player rolls two cubes and multiplies them. Highest product wins the round. First to 5 rounds wins!
Times Table Practice
1 cubeChoose a times table to practice (like 6s). Roll one cube and multiply that number by 6. Check your answer with a calculator!
Place Value
Make the Biggest Number
3 cubesRoll three cubes. Arrange them to make the biggest 3-digit number possible. Example: Roll 2, 5, 1 โ make 521.
Make the Smallest Number
3 cubesRoll three cubes. Arrange them to make the smallest 3-digit number possible. Example: Roll 4, 6, 2 โ make 246.
Place Value Battle
4 cubes per playerEach player rolls four cubes and creates the largest 4-digit number possible. Highest number wins!
4th – 5th Grade
Multi-Digit Operations
Create & Multiply
4 cubesRoll four cubes. Use two cubes to make a 2-digit number, and the other two to make another 2-digit number. Multiply them together.
Division Challenge
4 cubesRoll four cubes. Make a 2-digit number (dividend) and a 1-digit number (divisor). Divide and find the quotient and remainder.
Order of Operations
PEMDAS Practice
4 cubesRoll four cubes. Create an equation using all four numbers and any operations (+, โ, ร, รท). Solve using the correct order of operations. Example: (6 + 2) ร 4 โ 3
Target 24
4 cubesRoll four cubes. Use +, โ, ร, รท and parentheses to make exactly 24. You must use all four numbers once. Example: Roll 3,3,6,6 โ (3+3) ร (6โ2) = 24
Factors & Multiples
Factor Find
2 cubesRoll two cubes and multiply them. List all the factors of the product. Example: Roll 3 and 4 = 12. Factors: 1,2,3,4,6,12
Prime or Composite?
2 cubesRoll two cubes. Add, subtract, or multiply them. Determine if the result is prime or composite and explain why.
Common Multiple Race
2 cubesRoll two cubes. Find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two numbers. First to answer correctly wins the round!
Fractions
Fraction Builder
2 cubesRoll two cubes. The first cube is the numerator, the second is the denominator. Simplify the fraction if possible. Example: Roll 4 and 6 โ 4/6 = 2/3
Fraction Addition
4 cubesRoll four cubes. Make two fractions (first two cubes = first fraction, last two = second fraction). Add the fractions together and simplify.
Compare Fractions
4 cubesMake two fractions using four cubes. Determine which fraction is greater using common denominators or cross multiplication.
6th – 8th Grade
Integers & Negative Numbers
Positive/Negative Operations
4 cubesRoll four cubes. Designate two as positive and two as negative (or roll again to decide). Add all four numbers together. Example: +5, โ3, +4, โ2 = 4
Integer Multiplication
2 cubesRoll two cubes. Flip a coin for each (heads = positive, tails = negative). Multiply the two integers together, being careful with signs.
