Description
Many years ago, you probably learned the order-of-operations acronym “PEMDAS" – Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction. It's one of the most important concepts to learn but is often difficult to reinforce. Enter PEMDice! Designed as more of a “game system" than a single-purpose game, the concept is simple: roll a set of 15 operation & numeric dice and create a factual equation. Points are awarded by squaring the number of dice used (so “4x5=20" = 5 dice = 25 points).
But the neat part is just how dynamic the equations can be! Each set of 15 dice consists of 6 numbers (evens 2-6, odds 3-7, numbers 2-7, 8-10, multiples of 10, fractions), 6 operators (addition, subtraction, division, multiplication, square roots, cube roots, powers, factorial), 2 parentheses, and equals. Teachers can add a time limit to encourage students to think faster, award extra points to algebraic operators, or even remove advanced concept dice to teach a younger audience without impacting the game. Other handy “features" include color-coded dice to help students set up the individual pieces of equations, an activity manual explaining how to use the dice, and a sample score sheet. Contains two sets of dice.
