Thanks for visiting NZMaths.
We are preparing to close this site and currently expect this to be in June 2024
but we are reviewing this timing due to the large volume of content to move and
improvements needed to make it easier to find different types of content on
Tāhūrangi. We will update this message again shortly.

  • Each player has a game board (or you can draw your own).
  • Take turns to throw the dice and fill in on your board where you think your number will fit in order to put the numbers down in the correct order.
  • The winner is the first person to complete their rocket in the correct order and read the numbers out in order.

Variations:

  • Use the other rocket with that 0 is the top number and 7 is at the bottom.
