ADDITION &

SUBTRACTION WITH

DICE

For this activity you will need dice.

• Children work in pairs within a group of 6, with all
bricks piled in the middle. Each pair must have
two dice.
• Both children each take one dice. They must each
throw their dice and say the number as it is shown
on the dice.
• Each child uses bricks to build the number shown
on their dice. The pair then adds the bricks
together and figure out the answer.
• Children must break their number up before
throwing the dice again.
• See how many sums you can do in a certain
amount of time.

Variations:
• Work in pairs with 2 dice - stack your bricks
together.
• Each child throws a dice - add the two
numbers.
