ROLL NUMBER ASSIGNMENT 1-5 SEQUENCE NUMBERS

6-10 HEAD FULL OF NUMBERS

11-15 DARA

16-20 FRACTION PUZZLES

21-25 EQUIVALENT FRACTIONS – MISSING

NUMERATOR GAME

26 AND ABOVE OPERATIONS ON THE NUMBER LINE

1. SEQUENCE NUMBERS

• There are 60 cards and each card has an addition/subtraction/multiplication/division

equation on it. Note: the answers to all these equations must be present on the game

board. Example: If you have a card with the equation 17+5, then you must have the

number 23 on the game board.

• The game board has the answers to all the 60 operations in a random order; the cards will

only have the equations, without the answer.

• The player picks a card without looking, and has to match the card to its correct answer

on the board, and then place one of their chips there.

• When a player has 3 chips in a row, they've got a

SEQUENCE!

2. HEAD FULL OF NUMBERS

� There is a hollow head, with 6 dice.

� Each dice has 6 digits on it (one on each face). Make sure all the digits from 0-9 are

included at least once across all the dice. All the dice are placed inside the head.

� The player shakes the head, and rolls the dice out of it. There would be 6 digits on the

six rolled dice as a result.

� The player can use addition, subtraction, multiplication and/or division to make a

correct equation using these digits, and write it on a blank slip. Each correct equation

is a WIN

�

3. DARA

� This centuries-old game is traditionally played by the Dakarkari people in what is now

the Sokota State region of Nigeria.

� The game consists of a 6X5 grid on a board, and 12 pieces each of two different colors.

� Players take turns placing their pieces on the board, and then move the pieces in an

attempt to form rows of three.

� When a player forms a row of three, they get to remove one of the opponent's pieces.

� The first player to remove three pieces of the opponent would be the winner.

� Watch the video for understanding the game.

4. FRACTION PUZZLES

� There are small fraction puzzles (four pieces in each puzzle) and all of them are

placed in a box (jumbled up).

� Suggestion: The puzzle pieces can be created using thick drawing sheets or cardboard

� The player then picks out four matching pieces to complete one such puzzle. A

correctly completed puzzle is a win.

5. EQUIVALENT FRACTIONS – MISSING NUMERATOR GAME

� The game consists of a board similar to snakes and ladder in which you have

random boosters to skip a few steps and random bites which make a player go back

to a certain position.

� There are cards which have expressions of equivalent fractions written on them.

Each card has a missing numerator.

� The player has to pick a card without looking and tell the missing numerator. The

missing numerator is the number of steps the player’s piece moves on the board.

The player to reach home first, or the player who is ahead of the others at the end

of the game, is the winner.

6. OPERATIONS ON THE NUMBER LINE

� The game consists of a king size number line which can be spread on the floor.

� The game has flash cards with addition, subtraction or division operations on them.

A card will be drawn randomly and whichever operation comes up, will be

demonstrated on the king size number line.

Note: 1. Make sure the result of all the operations fit within the number line you

prepare.

2. The flash cards must contain a mix of all three operations (only one operation

per card)

The Stray Puppy Story By: Judie Eberhardt

Lisa was sleeping when suddenly she heard a small

whimpering noise outside her window. I wonder what’s

making that noise, she thought to herself. Lisa got out of

bed and saw a small brown puppy sitting under her

window. “Mom,” yelled Lisa. “There’s a puppy outside

the bedroom window, and it’s crying.” Mom and Lisa

went outside to take a look and saw the cute, but very

scared, puppy sitting on the grass next to mom’s

rosebushes. “She looks hungry,” said Mom. “Let’s give her something to eat.” Mom and Lisa had some dog food on the shelf in the garage from when

their dog, Roger, was with them. Roger had been sick for a long time. The puppy ate the food

and drank some water. Her whimpering had stopped.

Mom told Lisa to see if the puppy had a collar that might tell them where she lived.

There wasn’t any collar.” “We can’t let her stay outside,” said Lisa. Mom agreed, and they

brought the puppy inside for the day. “I think we need to make some posters and place them

around the neighborhood,” said Mom. Lisa agreed, and they put six posters around the busiest

parts of town. Three days went by and no one called or stopped by to claim the puppy. Mom

said to Lisa, “I think someone didn’t want the puppy and decided to let her go hoping someone

would take her in.” “That’s terrible!” said Lisa. “How can someone do something like that?”

“Can we keep her if no one calls about her?” “Let’s see what happens in the next few days,”

said Mom. Two weeks passed, and no one called about the puppy. “I think we had better name

this cute puppy,” said Mom. “Any ideas?” Lisa thought for a while and finally said, “Let’s

name her Rosy.” “Why Rosy?” asked mom. Lisa said, “When I first saw her, she was by the

rosebushes outside.” “What a clever name,” said Mom. “Rosy it is.” That day, Mom and Lisa went to the store and bought Rosy a leash, a puppy bed, some toys, and a cute sweater

for those chilly days ahead. Lisa played with Rosy every day and went for walks in the park.

Lisa loved giving Rosy a bath because she splashed water everywhere.

“I know it wasn’t a nice thing to do leaving Rosy, but I’m glad she was left by our

house,” said Lisa. Mom and Lisa had talked about getting another dog after Roger, but didn’t

expect to get one this way. “I’m glad too,” said Mom. “Rosy is a very cute dog
