You have probably seen these Foam Counting Blocks for kids at Craft and Dollar Stores.
The foam blocks can also be used as DICE for playing math (or other) games. All you need is the counting blocks and a permanent marker.
You (or the kids) can draw dots (similar to real dice) or you can use numbers.
With a pair of dice, kids can play games and practice their addition, subtraction, or multiplication facts up to 6+6, 6-6, or 6x6.
What I think is so great about these DIY DICE is that you can write LARGER numbers on them. Now kids can practice LARGER addition, subtraction, and multiplication facts.
Another great thing about these foam blocks is that a package of 50 was purchased at a Dollar Store. I've also purchased them inexpensively at a Crafts Store.
So if you need some inexpensive dice or dice with larger numbers try making your own or better yet have the kids make their own!
Have fun with math!
