Use this fun game to practice all four operations and/or order of operations.

Students roll two dice. They add, subtract, multiply, and/or divide the two numbers shown on the dice. If the answer appears in the grid, they cover it with a counter. Each player is only allowed to cover one space on their turn. The first player to cover four numbers in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally), wins!

To make the game more challenging, use more dice and order of operations. You can also use 10-sided dice to make things a bit more challenging.

This is a great activity to have in a math center rotation to practice fact fluency.

Use the drop-down menu to choose between color, low color, black and white, or an editable version.
