Takes And Adders
Making Maths Fun
Who starts first?

Everyone throws the dice. Who ever get the highest number goes first. Or you may like to go from youngest to oldest. What ever is fair with your group.
How do I move places?
Roll the dice. Use the maths equation on the block you are on. Subsiture the dice symbold for the unmber you rolled on the dice. Yoy man be lucky and get a big number or you may be a bit unlucky and get a negative number which mean you have to go back!
Who is the winner?
​
The first person to the finish block is the winner. You have to land on the finish block with the right number. If you get too big a number you have to wait and try to the the right number in the next turn.
You may choose to make the winner the frist person who gets to the finish block without landing on it. For example they have too big a number.
NOTE: if you have a block that is close to the finish with equations that give too big a number then we suggest you turn the block over or swap it with a more suitiable equation from somewhere else on the board.
