Battle
20 min
2 participantsIdentification relative to the value of a number brick. Compare bricks to determine numerical value and rank.
Let's play!
Both players
Build a tower with your bricks on the base plate.
Remove your top brick and place it on the base plate.
Read and compare your numbers.
Take both bricks if your number is the highest and build your tower higher by adding them underneath.
If your 2 bricks are identical, take the next brick from your tower and compare again.
Take all 4 bricks if you win.
Repeat activity until one player has all the bricks.
How to prepare
1 base plate
12 number bricks
1 number sign brick
Place the number sign brick in the top left corner of the base plate.
Give each player 6 randomly selected bricks.
Facilitation tips
Explain that we are not going to put the number sign in front of each brick. The number sign in the top left corner of the base plate indicates that all the bricks are numbers
Ask “How do you know a number is higher than another one?”
Possible variations
Change the rules: lowest number wins, even number wins…
Use this activity to learn multiplication tables: the 2 bricks have to be multiplied. The quickest to give the correct answer wins.
