This is a game board for "Connect Four!" with a math twist. Here is how to play and solve the problems on the board:
How to Play:
1.
Roll two dice. (For example, you might roll a 4 and a 3).
2.
Add or subtract the numbers. You can choose which operation to use to match a number on the board.
* *Addition:* 4 + 3 =
7
* *Subtraction:* 4 - 3 =
1 (or 3 - 4 is not possible with standard dice, so usually larger minus smaller)
3.
Color the number. If the answer (7 or 1) is on the board, color that square.
4.
Win! The first player to connect four of their colored squares in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) wins the game.
Numbers Available on the Board:
To help you plan your moves, here are the numbers currently on the grid:
*
Row 1: 2, 3, 12, 5, 8, 3
*
Row 2: 11, 4, 5, 10, 7, 10
*
Row 3: 12, 9, 6, 7, 8, 9
*
Row 4: 2, 10, 7, 8, 9, 6
*
Row 5: 7, 4, 8, 5, 10, 11
*
Row 6: 5, 9, 6, 6, 3, 12
Example Turn:
If you roll a
5 and a
2:
* You could add them: 5 + 2 =
7. Look for a
7 on the board to color.
* You could subtract them: 5 - 2 =
3. Look for a
3 on the board to color.
Final Answer:
This is a game board, not a single math problem to solve. To complete the task, roll two dice, add or subtract the numbers you get, and color the matching number on the grid. The goal is to be the first player to connect four colored squares in a row.
