Description
Happy Easter! In this 6th grade math activity, students will be rolling dice and plugging their numbers into variables in a series of equations. After they plug into each equation, they will add up their answers together and whoever gets the highest answer, wins the game. Whether you want to use it to prepare for a test, or just use it as station for math centers, the fun is still the same.
How to play / How to use:
1. Each player rolls their own dice (1 dice per player).
2. Each player plugs in (substitutes X with) the number that they rolled, for question 1 on the equation sheet.
3. On a blank sheet of paper (each player has their own sheet), each player writes the equation with their substitution, and solves their equation.
4. Each player writes their answer on the score card. Player 1 writes in the column labeled “Player 1”. Player 2 writes their answer in the column labeled “Player 2”.
5. Repeat Steps 1-4 for each equation.
6. After all the scores are recorded, player 1 adds up their answers, then player 2 adds up their answers.
7. Whoever has the highest number wins the game.
