Roll It! Operations Game
Free | 5 pages|Grades: 1 - 6Use 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.

- 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 - ...

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...
