Great introduction to number sense and strategy
We use this game as a reward in our tutoring sessions for 2nd and 3rd graders, as an introduction to number sense for any age, as scaffolding with older kids before we play more complicated versions of this idea (Math Dice Sr, 24, Prime Climb, etc) and as remedial practice for our older kids. It’s easy to learn. I like that it works well in small group play (kids in pairs on a team for example), it’s helpful for modeling strategies and number sense (especially if the teacher plays against the students to model how answers are found), and that it can be adapted for noncompetitive play.

Fun, simple game that also involves math skills
My 6.5 year old loves this game and has for about 6 months. It is easy to play, doesn’t take any special equipment beyond what it comes with, and is fun. The goal is to use addition and subtraction to sum up the numbers on 5 colored dice to get to a target number, and you get to move your game piece one space for every die you successfully use in a round, so it’s advantageous to use as many as possible. The trick is that you have to do the math in your head quickly and then yell “math dice” first–only that person gets to show the combo they came up with. The first player to move their game piece around the given board wins. (The board is very tiny–we usually end up going around 2-3 times per game.) When we play with our son, though, my husband and I have to basically hold back to give my son a chance, because obviously a grownup can add a lot faster than a 6 year old. Still, we are able to jump in just enough to push him and get him thinking faster and in a more complex way, which is the best part of this game. For instance, in the months we’ve had this, he’s figured out how to do more complex strings using both addition and subtraction to maximize the number of dice used (e.g., 3+4+2-1=8 to use 4 dice instead of 3+4+1=8 to only use 3 dice). You don’t have to do things that complicated (you could start out with only addition, for instance), but that’s part of the strategy and what makes it a game more than just math drills. I think what ages this is for really depends on the child. My son is pretty fast at adding and subtracting, and he can do much of it in his head. I know he’s played with other 6 year old friends and they struggled quite a bit. So you kind of have to know your kid. Can your kid add and subtract numbers totaling up to 12? Can they add/subtract more than one number in a row (e.g., 2+2+3)? And can they do it in their head? They don’t necessarily have to do those thing super well yet, but they do need to be able to do them a little. Also think about who the child will play with–it’s best if they can play with kids at a similar math skill level so one person doesn’t dominate.I do like that Math Dice Jr encourages my son to think about math, but apart from that it’s just a fun, simple game that doesn’t take too long to play. It’s a winner for us!

If your 5 or 6 or 7 year old is just starting math this is for him or her!!
Amazing! My son is 6 (october baby just missed the deadline to start pre-k last sept) so he just started pre k this year a lottle late. They put him in pre k instead of kindergarten because the kid didnt even draw or write or count to 20 yet. Long story short its december 2 months later and hes a GENIUS. He can count to 300 (before he gets bored) he can count by 10s and 20s also. He can write all the numbers and letters and can write and spell his whole name and is now starting to learn site words..already starting to read! He picks up stuff so quick SO I KNEW THIS WAS THE GAME FOR HIM! At first he was rolling the 12 sided die and was then rolling the colored ones, one by one counting to the number he rolled on the 12 sided dice. Then i told him to roll all 5 of the colored dice and to pick out certain dice to make that number he had rolled on the white one..he picked it up instantly and loves it. He wants to take it everywhere he goes because it comes with a cute little bag that fits all of it so nicely and has a draw string. Its just really great for the price. His favorite christmas gift and such a good price. Its a real gem.

Super easy set up!
I’m so glad I ordered this game! I teach math to both 4th and 5th grade students and this will be a fantastic addition to my math centers! I already played it with a student I tutor during the summer and she loved it! It’s super easy to set up and you’ll be playing within minutes of opening the package. The directions are easy and it’s a quick game. It comes with a little drawstring bag so you can easily keep all the pieces together. It’s made for addition and subtraction, but I can easily see how you could add multiplication and dvision as well. I love the bright colors of the dice and the fact that they are much larger than the standard dice. That was a nice surprise! This game will definitely help with fact fluency and computation. I’m pretty sure I’ll be ordering another set, if not more, before the 1st day of school!*The game tokens bounced off our scoring track a few times because they are very lightweight, but it wasn’t a big deal. Just roll the dice away from the scoring track and it will be fine. : )Order a set and start playing to help someone brush up on their fluency and mental math skills today!

Good value for money. Kids can improve their arithmetic skills with playing with their friends. It’s a fun way of learning.

A mi hija de 6 años recién cumplidos le ha encantado. Si le dices que haga sumas y restas en un papel durante un rato, se queja y pone mala cara y, sin embargo, desde que tenemos el âMath Diceâ, cada dÃa lo pide diciendo que le encanta y no se cansa de jugar, sin darse cuenta de que está haciendo sumas y restas mientras juega! Además, tamaño perfecto lara llevar de viaje.

Tolles Spiel das man dem Alter des Kindes immer anpassen kann..mein Sohn, 5 Jahre, spielt es super gerne und er verinnerlicht das Rechnen.Zur Zeit spielen wir es so dass er die bunten Würfel nur addieren oder subtrahieren soll und auf das Ergebnis des weiÃen Würfels zu bekommen.Später kann er beides gemischt um auf das Ergbnis zu kommen!Ein klares Jahr!
