16mm Multiplier Die – X, 2X and 3X

Description

Multiplier Die for X, 2X and 3X Activities

This approximately 16mm multiplier die shows X, 2X, and 3X, each on two faces. Choose a starting value for X, roll the die, and use the marking to keep, double, or triple that value.

If X = 5, rolling X gives 5, 2X gives 10, and 3X gives 15. The die can be used for simple multiplication practice or as an introduction to evaluating algebraic expressions by substitution.

Activities to Try

• Keep, double, or triple. Choose a number and roll the die to find the result.
• Build a value table. List the results for several values of X using the same rolled expression.
