Using the Printable Spring Bee Math Game

To play with two dice, students will roll both dice and count the dots. Then they will find the sum and cover the number with a small manipulative. Play continues until all the numbers are covered.
You could also turn the mats into roll and color printable mats by having the students color the circle with a dry-erase marker, if you don’t want to use manipulatives.
Another option is to use play dough to cover the spots on the printable mat. This builds fine motor muscles too!
