Divide by 10

The game "Divide by 10" is an educational and interactive activity designed to help players understand the concept of division by 10. To play, participants need a 0-9 dice, a decimal board, and counters. The objective of the game is to reinforce the learning of dividing two-digit numbers by 10 and to recognize how numbers become ten times smaller through this process. Players take turns rolling the dice to generate a two-digit number, such as 58, and then divide that number by 10. The result, in this case, 5.8, is then covered on the decimal board using a counter.

The goal of the game is to be the first player to cover three numbers in a row on the decimal board, which could be horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. As the game unfolds, players will observe the pattern that occurs when dividing by 10: each digit moves one place to the right, transitioning from the tens and units columns to the units and tenths columns, respectively. For example, the number 58 becomes 5.8 after division. This visual and hands-on approach aids in solidifying the understanding of decimal place value and the effect of division by 10 on numbers.
