Sequence Steps - Counting on

The game designed for enhancing numerical fluency encourages players to count on in varying step sizes. To participate, each player will need a 0-9 dice. The game begins with players taking turns to roll the dice twice. The first roll determines the starting number of their numerical sequence, while the second roll decides the step size by which they will count on. Players must then list the first five numbers of their sequence based on these parameters. For instance, if a player rolls a 4 followed by a 7, their sequence would start at 4 and increase in increments of 7, resulting in a sequence of 4, 11, 18, 25, 32.

The challenge intensifies as the opponent is tasked with continuing the sequence by calculating the next two numbers. If they succeed, they earn 2 points. The objective is to be the first player to accumulate 10 points. Throughout the game, players are encouraged to discuss and implement efficient strategies for addition. For example, they might consider jumping to the nearest multiple of ten before adding the remainder, or using known number facts as 'stepping stones' to aid in calculation. This approach not only makes the game more engaging but also reinforces mental arithmetic skills and the understanding of numerical patterns.
