Players take turns throwing two 6-sided dice and finding the area of a square or rectangle formed by those two numbers. (Hint: To find the area, studentsmultiply the two numbers.) If the player has written that area on her game card, shewill use that space on her card to draw a picture of the rectangle or square formed, and then cover that space. Example: If a 4 and a 2 are rolled, the area of the rectangle formedwill be 8. If an 8 iswritten in the upper corner of the card, the player may draw a picture, then cover that space. Thewinner is the first player to cover 3 squares in a row, horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

Each player draws 2 cards andmakes a fractionwith the bigger number on the bottom. Players then compare their fractions. The player with the bigger fractionwins one point.
