Domino Math Games

There are so many different ways to use dominoes in math.

Here are a few of my favorite ones.

Domino Keepers Addition

a game for 2 players (or two teams)

All of the dominoes are placed in the centre face down.

Both players pick up a domino at the same time.

Each player tells the sum of the dots on their domino, e.g. 2+4=6, 5+3=8.

The player with the highest answer keeps both dominoes. If both players have the same answer, each keeps a domino. The winner is the player or team with the most dominoes when all dominoes have been picked up.

Domino Keepers Multiplication

a game for 2 players (or two teams)

Play this game as above but instead of adding the two numbers on the domino, multiply them.

These games tick all of the boxes - the kids love them, they are simple to play and all you need is a set of dominoes!
