Roll It! Operations Game
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.

Common Core Curriculum alignment
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.C.5
Relate counting to addition and subtraction (e.g., by counting on 2 to add 2).
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.C.6
Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 - 4 = 13 - 3 - 1 = 10 - ...
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.OA.B.2
Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies. By end of Grade 2, know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers.
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.NBT.B.6
Add up to four two-digit numbers using strategies based on place value and properties of operations.
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.C.7
Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all pr...

Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NBT.B.5
Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and multiply two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the properties of operations. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangul...
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NBT.B.6
Find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends and one-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explai...
