Math Games Played with Cards and Dice (4-6) is the third book in the Galaxy Series of supplementary mathematics materials. This is written as a source book for teachers and parents and is aimed at improving the basic skills of upper elementary school students. It contains a wide variety of games and puzzles to challenge learners of all ability levels in performing the basic arithmetic operations, use of the metric system, probability, and some pre-algebra concepts. Math Games Played with Cards and Dice (4-6) provides motivating mathematics games and puzzles that are supplementary to any basal mathematics program. It is not a self-contained mathematics curriculum. Its materials are designed with the entire range of learners in mind. Each game contains variations that present challenges for students who are able to probe more deeply into the activities presented. Classroom testing of these games and activities has consistently demonstrated that students enjoy them, are motivated by them and master basic skills through their use. Answers and comments are provided for many of the activities in the last section of this book. This book requires little more than standard playing cards, standard dice, meter sticks, and common classroom materials for successful use. Calculators can be useful in some activities, though they are not required. When customized dice are required, a non-permanent marker may be used to doctor the faces of the standard dice. The entire Galaxy Series conforms to the Mathematics Focal Points recommendations of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics as well as most state standards. The books also help prepare students for testing programs that are mandated under state and federal statutes. Thank you for using the supplementary mathematics materials of IPMG Publishing!
