Object: Be the player that creates the most correct equations using the six number dice rolled.

Gameplay for 2-6 players

1.Place the six dice into the shaker.

2.Have one player roll the dice out of the head.

3.Once the dice are rolled, place the six dice in the tray, with the numbers rolled facing up. These are the numbers that will be used during gameplay.

4.Each player should then write the six numbers at the top of the scorecard in the spaces provided.

5.Start the timer. All players write as many equations as they can during that time.

6.Many forms of equations can be made: +, -, x, /, =, <, and > are all possibilities. The trick is to find a combination that works using only the numbers rolled.

For example, the numbers rolled were 7, 2, 2, 3,

6, 4. The equations below are possible solutions that

could be made.

 

 

 

4

+ 2 = 6

6

x 4

= 24

2

+ 4 = 6

6

÷ 3

= 2

2

= 2

6

÷ 2

= 3

6 – 4 = 2

7 + 2 = 6 + 3

24

÷ 6 = 4

26

– 24 = 2

6

> 4

4

< 6

 

7.A number can be used only once in an equation if only one of that number was rolled. However, the answer may repeat a number that was used to create the equation. (For example, with the numbers rolled in the example above you can create 24 ÷ 6 = 4 even though only one 4 was rolled.)

*Exception: You may not repeat a number when creating an equal-to equation (ex. 3 = 3) if there is only one of that number rolled.
