This is a really fun game for pairs of students to play to help them practice making sense of decimal place value, decimal notation, and decimal addition. The goal is to have a sum that is closest to a given decimal after ten rolls of a 0-9 die.
The rules for playing and game boards can be found below.
The game itself involves addition. However, students will need to compare their scores to see who was closest and determine how close, which involves comparing decimals and subtraction. An example of a recording sheet that can be used over several days of play with multiple opponents can also be found below.
