Numbered dice have many uses in the classroom, primarily teaching addition, subtraction, multiplication, probability, fractions, and more. The numbered dice are a universally recognised device used for playing all kinds of games and activities. Our 50-dice activity cards are a great accompanying resource.
Our range of products includes jars of 10, 60, 80, and 200 multicoloured dice. These come in red, yellow, green, blue, and white. We also sell jumbo PVC numbered dice which can be bought alone or in a bag of 10.
Beyond using these to add and subtract, numbered dice are ideal for playing a variety of card and board games. For different ideas on what to play, check out the dice games for place value book by Dr Paul Swan.
If you want a wider variety of classroom maths games, our 6-sided dice are for you! Try rolling two dice and figuring out the highest place value these combined numbers make.
For a different game, take turns rolling a pair of dice and jotting down the numbers, which can be multiplied, added, subtracted, and divided, with the winner being the first person to reach 100. This is a great game for students to play in a group.
Have a go playing a fraction game by rolling the dice and using the landing numbers in the equation (smaller as numerator and larger denominator). If you roll doubles or are the first person to answer the question, then you win a point.
