Skills: factors, multiples, multiplication facts, division facts

What You Need: Game board that we provide, pair of six-sided dice

Preparation: Print off the game board. We suggest that after you print the board, laminating it so that it will last for years to come.

How To Play: To decide who goes first, have each player spin the dice. The person who rolls the highest goes first. In case of a tie, have the people who tied roll again to see who rolls higher.

  • The first player rolls the dice.
  • The higher number thrown is the tens place and the lower number thrown is the ones place. Example: If a 2 and a 3 are rolled on the dice, their number would be 32.
  • The player looks at their game card to see if any factors of the number they rolled are listed. In our example of rolling a 32, they could cover a 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 if on more of those numbers are on their factor game card.
