MYSTERY DICE

YOU WILL NEED: 3 dice

• the first player throws the dice but keeps the scores hidden
• they add up the totals. For example 4+2+3=9 and say the total out loud!
• they then take away one dice and show the remaining 2 to the other player, who must guess the value of the missing dice.
• if they are right, it is their turn to thrown the dice.

(Parents please note: this activity will help your child to practice adding the taking away small numbers. It is important to be able to work out these sums and then, eventually, to learn the answers off by heart in order to instantly know the answer! This game is moving towards this.)
