Use DICE to Make Your Class FUN!
Google Sheet Interactive DICE!
Try this template from Tammy Worcester, which uses Google Sheets to create interactive dice. You can make a copy of the template to use it in your classroom. Also, there are different ways to implement the use of dice to spice up your lessons!
How to Get Started...
- Click here to be prompted to make a copy of the template.
- Click "Single Dice" or "Double Dice" at the bottom of the sheet.
- Follow the on-screen prompt to roll the dice! If the sheet opens without forcing you to make a copy, then just pull down the "File" menu to "Make a copy."
Some Ways to Use Dice in Your Classroom!
- Use dice to choose students for activities. If students have a number assigned to them, this is a good way to random select students.
- Use dice to help choose groups. Assign a student to an even or odd group. Once the maximum number is reached for a group, the rest can be assigned to other. (if it goes lopsided)
- Use dice in conjunction with book exercises. Using 2-3 dice and addition, any book exercise can become a game in which students roll and the number of the question is the one that they must answer in their group. If they answer correctly, award them a point.
- Dice are best math manipulatives to review basic addition and subtraction or to teach place value.
