Description
Happy St. Patrick's Day! In this math activity for 5th and 6th grade, students will be rolling dice and plugging their numbers into variables in a series of problems involving inequalities while at the same time practicing cube numbers. After they plug into each problem, they will move a game piece up a spot on their game boards. Whoever gets to the finish spot on the board, wins the game.
How to play / How to use
1. To determine who goes first, both players roll the dice once. Whoever rolls the highest number, goes first.
2. Whoever goes first, rolls the dice and then adds the two numbers together.
3. The player then plugs in (substitutes X with) the number that they rolled, for question 1 on the equation sheet.
4. On a blank sheet of paper (each player has their own sheet), the player writes the problem with their substitution.
5. If the number satisfies the inequality, then the player moves up the space. If the number does not satisfy the equation the player keeps their piece in the same spot and the turn ends there.
6. The player repeats that same problem until they move up a space.
7. Then the next player repeats steps 2-5.
8. The game ends when a player's piece reaches the box that says “Finish”.
9. The player who reaches the “Finish” box is the winner of the game.
