Shorter Stick/Longer Stick

Materials: Die or number cube Unifix or snap cubes Longest/Shortest spinner Paper clip

Directions: Play with a partner. Take turns rolling a die. Whatever number you roll, take that number of cubes and

connect them. Each player takes 3 turns. After players have finished their turns, use the paper clip to

spin the spinner. If the spinner lands on Shortest, the player with the shorter stick wins. If the spinner lands on Longest,

the player with the longer stick wins.



Make 25 ₵

Materials:

Coins (pennies, nickels, and quarters)

Number cube or dot cube

Make 25₵ game board

Directions:

The object of the game is to be the first person to make 25₵. In this game you will toss the number

cube to determine the number of pennies to place on the game board. Once you collect five pennies,

you can trade in the pennies for 1 nickel. Once you collect five nickels, you can trade in the nickels for a

quarter and win the game!

1. Toss the number cube to determine who goes first. Players can take turns in order from highest to

lowest number or lowest to highest number.

2. Toss the number cube to determine the number of pennies to place on your game board. For

example, if the cube lands on the number 4, you will place 4 pennies on your game board.

3. Continue playing and trading pennies for nickels until you make 25₵.

Adapted from Box It or Bag it Mathematics

4. CHALLENGE: Can you think of other ways to make 25₵? List as many ways as possible.

5. Play Make $1.00 – Use the Make $1.00 game board and the same procedure to play.
