Step Up - Counting on

Step Up is a dynamic and educational game designed to help players practice counting on and adding single digit numbers. The game is suitable for anyone looking to improve their mental arithmetic and understanding of number sequences. To get started, each player will need a 0-9 dice to generate numbers for the game.

The game is played by first rolling the dice to establish a single digit starting number, which players will note down. Players then take it in turns to roll the dice again, determining their 'step' size for the game. Each player makes three 'steps' from their starting number based on the second roll. For example, if a player starts with 4 and then rolls a 6, they count on in steps of 6, moving to 10, then 16, and finally 22. Players continue the game by rolling the dice again for a new step size, and counting on three more steps from their last number. This process is repeated, and the aim is to be the first player to surpass the 100 mark. As players engage with the game, they are encouraged to discuss and explore different counting strategies, such as using fingers or jumping to the next multiple of ten, and to observe patterns that emerge with odd and even numbers. The winner is the one who crosses the 100 threshold first, honing their numerical skills in a fun and competitive way.
