Happy Halloween! Are working on adding decimals with your class? Here is a fun activity you could do with your 4th and/or 5th grade math students to make such equations fun. Whether you want to use it to practice fluency in math centers, prepare for a test, or just use it for homework, the fun is still the same.

DICE AND GAME PIECES NOT INCLUDED
For game pieces, you could use bingo chips, buttons, counters, or whatever materials like those that you have in your classroom.
This is how you play:
1. Students will start by rolling the dice.
2. After, they will move the number of spaces shown on the dice.
3. In a notebook, solve the problem on the space you land on.
4. If your answer is an even number (a number that ends in 2,4,6,8, or 0), cover a pumpkin that says ”even” with a game piece. If your answer is an odd number (a number that ends in 1,3,5,7, or 9), then cover a planet that says “odd” with a game piece.
5. Once your pumpkin is covered, then the next player rolls.
6. If all the even pumpkins are covered and you get an even number as an answer, then your turn ends, and the next player begins to roll.
7. If all the odd pumpkins are covered and you get an odd number as an answer, then your turn ends, and the next player begins to roll.
8. The game does not end if you complete one trip around the board. The game ends once all the pumpkins are covered.
9. Whoever covers the most pumpkins, wins the game.
10. Have fun!
