• Every student should solve every problem – not just the person who rolls.
• Create groups of 2-4 students. The lower number of students means the more focused students are while playing.
• Remind students that the focus is not playing the game but that’s just an added bonus! The focus should be on practicing math skills. 
• Show students how to compare and discuss answers. Did you both get the same answer? If students get different answers, ask them to solve the problem using a different strategy or help coach each other through the problem.
