How to play
Students roll dice and arrange the digits into the highest number they can, then challenge the next player to beat it. A great game for reinforcing place value.
- Put students in pairs, threes or fours with 2 dice, or up to 7 for older players.
- Each student rolls and orders the dice to make the highest number possible; a 4 and 6 makes 64.
- They write down their answer, pass the dice and challenge the next student to 'Beat That'.
- Play in rounds and name a winner for each round.
- For a change, try making the smallest number possible.
- With younger students, explain your reasoning aloud and encourage them to do the same.
