What are Dice Games?
Dice Games build math fluency through short, focused, game-based practice that encourages accuracy, flexibility, and strategic thinking. Each game targets a specific math concept and is designed to be used alongside Math-U-See instruction as reinforcement, review, intervention, or enrichment.
This digital course includes a collection of standards-aligned dice games, each with a clear mathematical goal, defined game parameters, and guidance for instructor modeling. Games are designed for repeated play, allowing students to refine strategies, notice patterns, and strengthen reasoning over time. Instructor discussion prompts and optional extensions support explanation of thinking and provide opportunities to adjust the level of challenge.
To complete this course, you’ll need:
- Math-U-See Activity Dice
- Access to the digital game instructions and any accompanying printables
More Ways to Learn
The Math-U-See 10-Sided Activity Dice are used as intentional tools for generating numbers and supporting mathematical reasoning during gameplay. By introducing controlled variability, the dice help students practice math concepts in flexible ways, encouraging strategy use, pattern recognition, and explanation of thinking. The consistent structure of the dice supports repeated play while allowing each game to feel fresh and responsive to student decisions.
