Calculator Problems! (3rd Grade Game)


L.O. Use a calculator to solve word problems.

How to play: Work with a partner or in groups of three. Take it in turns to roll the dice.

You start with £1

If you throw:

1 - Double your money
2 - You find 75p behind the settee
3 - You have a hole in your pocket and lose £0.30
4 - It’s your birthday and you get £5
5 - You buy a chocolate bar for 35p
6 - The tooth fairy leaves you £2.50

How to record your answers:
I have £1.
I found 75p behind the settee.

Calculation: 1.00 + 0.75 = 1.75
Answer: £1.75

If you have no money left, you are out.
The winner is the first person to get £10.00 or more.

Check each other’s calculations throughout!
