Activity
This game is valuable for practising division and addition skills because of the need to calculate the remainder. Encourage students to say the calculation out loud so that the second player can check their move. Having one as a divisor reinforces the understanding that n ÷ 1 = n.
To vary this game, you could encourage students to design another game board with larger numbers and to use a dice marked four to nine. This gives students an opportunity to practise other basic multiplication facts.
