Dice Activities – Building multiplication facts and developing fluency – Ages 8–12

Dice activities was created by teachers in their classrooms over a period of 10 years to help students become more fluent with mathematical concepts. The activities are time-tested and proven to engage children. This exciting series provide opportunities to reinforce number patterns, construct efficient counting strategies, manipulate numbers mentally, develop fluency, introduce place value and much more. Starting and completing activities only require the use of dice, a commonly available manipulative.
