What is the number of the next space? How can playing board games make me a better mathematician? DIFFERENTIATION Extension Each time a student rolls a die they alternate between counting spaces forwards and backwards. The number of spaces is determined by the amount shown on the die. Example: If player one rolled a six, they would move forward six spaces. If on the next turn, player one rolled a three, they would move backwards three spaces. Students would continue on until a player reached 20. Intervention Because the students must say the numerals aloud, the numerals could also be written on the game board to assist with location identification and sequential counting.
