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.

Purpose:

  • To match patterns.

You need:

How to play:

  • Children throw the dice, read the number pattern they have thrown and find the matching puzzle piece to place on their master card.
  • The game is over when the entire car is covered.

Variations:

  • You may wish to play this activity without the dice at first so the children are learning to match and make the car following the patterns they can see.
  • Create your own game board, for example, using a house or a school building.
