      CCSS.Math.Content.4.NBT.B.4 Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.

      This game enforces fluency of adding and subtracting multi-digit numbers. It could be extended to the teaching of probablity, as every turn runs the risk of not rolling a 5 or a 1 (to continue playing) and requires players to regularly assess the chances of rolling a specific combination. This game gives ELL students and lower English speaking students lots of practice talking large math problems out in their heads as they keep track of each other's scores.

      MA.5.5.7 2000 Add and subtract with money in decimal notation. Adaption:  Students who struggle with mental math can use fake money to solve the problem by sorting the total amount of money they begin with into different bills and add or subtract the money from their piles to get the answer  Extension:  In classes where money is used in the class economy, students can calculate the amount of money spent on Market Day (a day where they get to spend money earned on something tangible)

      This activity could be adapted for struggling students by giving them less advanced story problems with easier to spot unnecessary information.  More advanced students could be given more detailed story problems.  Struggling students could also be given story problems with some of the unnecessary information already crossed out and some of the valuable information pre-underlined, giving them a head start

      4.OA.3 Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.

      Expansion: For older or particularly adept students, this could be a mental math game.  Students could be asked to flip over cards from a tens pile and a ones pile to allow for double digit numbers.

      ENL: Increased repetition of mathematical phrasing will give them practice with the vocaularly.  Students could be required to say the entire percentage phrase, for example "50% of 10 is 5," in order to earn their card.
