Dice can be used for lots of math activities.
Depending on grade level, the difficulty will vary.
Using two dice for ones and tens works. Have your child roll the dice and look at the numbers.
You can tell them the number to make. If they rolled a 4 and 2, you can ask them to put them in the correct place to create 42....2 in ones place, and 4 in tens place. Or they can choose the number they want to make.
You may want to make a chart, and this could consist of just lines. The number of lines will depend of level of difficulty.
You can also ask that they create the largest number and the smallest number they can given the numbers on the dice.
Six dice will take you through hundred-thousands place, just add more and go to infinity! Dollar stores have colored dice and big dice. Learning doesn't have to be expensive. Teachers love dollar store and the like.
If you rather have your child use numbers instead of the dot, cover them with tape or a sticky dot, and then write the numbers 1-6 on the dice. Wooden cubes can be used also.
Remind them that place value go in order opposite than reading. Exposing them to the words for the place values won't hurt either.
Younger students think it's special to have a placemat or a piece of brightly colored felt to roll their numbers on!
