Are
you always searching for a great new math activity?
This
order of operations “Capture It!” game makes kids think as they exercise mental
math skills. Also, it’s fun!
The
game is easy to prepare (simply copy and cut).
Once you have made however many sets of cards you need, the game will
always be ready to use … all year long!
It works well for early finishers, to provide extra practice with order of operations,
as an activity for a substitute teacher, or on the day before a vacation.
Students
race to “capture” a target card. Each
player in turn will roll all three
dice. Then,
all players
will try to get one of 12 target numbers by using the three numbers on the dice
along with the order of operations.
(Example: If the numbers rolled are 5-5-3, a student could “capture” target
card 20 because 5 x 3
+ 5 = 20.) Younger students may just use
addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Older students could also use exponents, such
as 53
– 5 = 120,
to “capture” target card 120.

instructions are included in the FREE DOWNLOAD located

I
hope you enjoy using this game for years to come!
