Connecting cubes, 1-6 Dot cubes, 1 for each player
Description: Roll a dot cube. Build a tower of cubes to match. Place the tower on your
game board in the column that matches your number. Keep rolling and building towers unil the column fills.
Differentiation: Students can be given a game board with any number 1-6, 7-12, 13-18 and so on. Please see sample below. A second dot cube can be added for the higher numbers or to practice addition as needed. Those that master the game may add up the total amount of cubes in each column.
Assessment:
