PlaySmart Dice: Uniquely Numbered Dice System with 5 Fun Math Games That Helps Kids Master Addition and Multiplication Skills

Outstanding, unique, and high quality dice game with quantity four (4) 12-sided (dodecahedron) dice. Two dice are numbered 4-9 and two numbered 3-8. I am a math tutor and high school volunteer classroom assistant. I use PlaySmart Dice with my students grades 6-12.The dice duplicate the numbers so that there is six (6) numbers: 4-9 & six (6) numbers: 3-8 on each die ...2 numbers each i.e. 2 4's, 2 5's, 2 6's...2 9's and 2 3's, 2 4's, 2 5's...2 8's ; making the "probability" of getting a particular number is 2/12 or 1/6 (similar to a regular 6-sided cube dice: hexahedron). I use the dice to teach probability distribution for advanced high school students. The PlaySmart Dice are ideal to reinforce arithmetic skills of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division... making "math serious FUN" for all ages elementary students to college students.I strongly recommend PlaySmart Dice as a wonderful, enjoyable family game. It is more than just a ideal math learning activity.PROBABILITY of PlaySmart Dice“the extent to which an event is likely to occur, measured by the ratio of the favorable cases to the whole number of cases possible”RED: 4,5,6,7,8,9 ….

I love that we can practice math facts thru 9 and not just the 6 of a regular die.

We are always looking for ways to practice mental math skills and Play Smart Dice are perfect for that! All my kids love them and I can see their mental math improving! A great addition for any homeschooling family or classroom teacher!

This is a great tool to use to learn basic math facts. It also helps strengthen mental math skills. You can play the games that come with it, but you have the ability to create you own games too.

We have enjoyed playing other games by this developer, especially the election night game. Great to for parents that want to help their kids learn math through playing games.

This set of dice includes a number of different games to play that reinforce math facts. In just a short time playing I have already seen my kids growing in their confidence and getting better at their math facts. This has been especially great for one of my kids who doesn’t like doing math in the traditional sense, but finds these games fun to play and forgets about having to do math. :-)

I had been tutoring a young boy in math this summer. We had tried many things, including other games, none of which inspired him. But this kit seemed to appeal to him and he cannot wait for us to do some of the ideas from the booklet. We have also made up many other ways to use them. A must-have for tutors and substitute teachers.
