Math Bowling!

Today I taught the kids a new game called "Math Bowling".  Each student had a whiteboard and pen and drew 10 pins, followed by the numbers 1-10 as shown above.  I then rolled the two giant dice and using whatever 2 numbers I rolled students used addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division to cross off or "knock down" each pin. I kept track of what pairs of numbers had been rolled on the board, and students had to show how they knocked down each pin!  For example if I rolled a 3 and 2, students could knock down the 6 because 3x2=6. 

The boys and girls had so much fun with this, I think I will continue to use it as a math warm up :)
