Description

A really active way to learn to manipulate numbers! Game consists of an open box, with flip-up number "keys." A felt area in the base provides room for the two dice to roll "in captivity." To begin, the 1st player rolls the dice. The player may then flip up any combination of numbers which match their roll. Example: If player rolled a 12 they could flip up just 12 or 11 and 1 or 10 and 2, or any 1 or 2 number combination which totals their roll. The 1st player continues rolling the dice until rolling a number which cannot be played. Example: Player rolls 12 again but has used all possible combinations while making other rolls. Player 1 now counts up all numbers which have not been flipped over. This is the 1st players score. If a second round is played, the 2nd player begins first. The player with the lowest score wins. Although simplest to describe with two players, any number may play. ~ Alysia

Publisher's Description of Shut the Box Game

This classic game from Ideal® teaches probability, chance, and basic math! Players take turns rolling the dice to "cover up" the numbers on the board. Continue rolling the dice and using either addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division, cover up the numbers until there are no more possibilities. For example- if a player rolls a 5 and a 4 they can cover 9, 8 & 1, 7 & 2, 6 & 3, and so on. Add the remaining numbers for your score. The second player repeats the process, rolling the dice to cover the numbers, until they can no longer cover the numbers. The player with the lowest score wins! This is a great educational gift for kids and can be used at home or in the classroom! Perfect for kids ages 5 and up!
