🔧 Game Rules (from the directions):
1. Roll a die.
2. Move that many spaces on the board.
3. On each space, you'll see an
addition problem (e.g., 42 + 19).
4.
Solve the addition sentence.

last space before "Finish" is
21 + 65 = 86.
- After that, you land on
Finish and win!
- This game helps students practice
two-digit addition with regrouping (carrying) in a fun way.

💡 Tips for Playing:
- Use a
standard six-sided die (numbers 1–6).
- Have paper and pencil ready to work out sums.
- Encourage kids to check their work: if they’re unsure, they go back to Start — which reinforces learning!
