ThinkFun Math Dice Chase - The Fun Game of Mathematical Hot Potato, Invented by a Math Teacher

I give these to my tutoring students. The really enjoy them and ot builds there multiplication skills quickly because the love to use them!

As a 7th grade Math teacher, I can think of quite a few ways to use these. I am going to buy a few more sets, but am waiting until Amazon marks the price back down. I paid maybe $4 for them and then they jumped up to over $12. Now I see the price has gone back down, but the fluctuation is unecessary. Shame on you, Amazon. Anyway, you can follow the instructions with them, or make up your own activities to align with your curriculum. I am going to use them for integer rules *with 1 color being pos, the other neg*, multiplication, probability, etc.

For the “stars” section, I’m supposed to evaluate this item according to “Easy to learn,” “good for traveling,” and “giftable.” I honestly didn’t care about any of those things. My primary concern was finding 12 sided dice that weren’t tiny. I’m very happy with these! They are just above 1 1/4 inch diameter.

I purchased this game not realizing that it's a 4 or more person game. I liked the previous Math Dice games, so bought it. I made up my own rules and made it a two-person game I play with my students. The chase part of the game is still great.

Great resource. My son loves dice games. We play at home reinforcing the school subjects, and even though he is not yet mentally calculated, we have used them to make positional value games (the blue dice units and the purple die tens), or simple additions and subtractions. My son likes them a lot.

These are perfect for adding, subtracting, multiplication practice. I would never play the game as directed with kids. The kid who needs the most time (and perhaps practice) is out first? What does that encourage? Not perseverance or self confidence...

I love how these are larger than the other polyhedral dice we have. They make math more fun! I bought them for my 7th grade class to practice playing multiplication games. They love it! My 4th grade son also enjoys working on his math facts at home with these!
