Multiplying Decimals Practice Using Dice

Is your kiddo struggling to master multiplication with decimals?  I love this idea from The Mailbox to use a pair of dice to practice. Essentially, you take a pair of dice, roll them, and then use those numbers to write a decimal putting the digits wherever you would like.  Then you multiply the two numbers.  Easy, and super motivating.  I don't know about your kiddos, but mine love just about anything to do with rolling dice - it makes it a game.

You could modify this idea in so many different ways for different ages and skill levels!  Here are a few I thought of:

1. Add the digits
2. Multiply the digits
3. Divide the digits
4. Add, subtract, or divide decimals
5. Use each digit to make a fraction, roll again for a second fraction then add, subtract, multiply, or divide.

Can you think of any other ways to use this idea?

Practicing and Remembering Multiplication Facts

If your kiddos are working on mastering their multiplication facts, then Multiplication.com
might be the site for you.  At the site, your child can choose a specific fact that they are struggling with, and they can listen to an audio and video story that will help them remember the fact.  Students can also take pre-tests on the facts, view tips and tricks for remembering the facts, play games, and much more!

Snowflake Roll and Cover Math Freebie

I don't know what the weather is like where you are, but here the forecast has been snow, snow, and more snow!  That is why I love this adorable little freebie from Learning With Preschoolers! Even if you don't have snow, your kiddos can learn math with some adorable snowmen.

Simply make copies of the dice game onto card stock and laminate. Give your child a game mat and game dice. Have the  child roll the dice and identify the number on the dice. Once they have identified the number have them find that number on the game mat and place a snowflake marker on top of that number snowflake. (You could use other markers such as beans, beads, cut construction paper, etc.).Have your child keep rolling the dice until they have caught all of the snowflakes on their mat.


For children that need a challenge give them two game dice so that they have to add the two dice together and find that snowflake with the correct number.

I also love that she gives ideas for teaching about counting money such as making sure that your child knows that amounts of money can have several different representations and making pictures to represent coins.  She recommends having the child write P,N, D, and Q for penny, nickel, dime, and quarter.  I have had my kiddos do this, but I have them write the amounts instead.

They then gave three levels of math problems related to the full moon for Wee ones (counting on fingers

), Little kids, and big kids. And the best part, it is FREE!
