Multi-Digit Operations

Create & Multiply

4 cubes

Roll 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 cubes

Roll 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 cubes

Roll four cubes. Create an equation using all four numbers and any operations (+, โˆ’, ร—, รท). Solve using the correct order of operations. Example: (6 + 2) ร— 4 โˆ’ 3

Target 24

4 cubes

Roll four cubes. Use +, โˆ’, 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— (6โˆ’2) = 24

Factors & Multiples
