Class 6 NCERT bridge course Answers Activity W4.6 Roll and Build the Largest (or Smallest) Number!

 Activity W4.6 - Roll and Build the Largest (or Smallest) Number!

 This game can be played by two students or two pairs of students.

Dice used for playing the game should be tactile/accessible and the boxes drawn on board should also be accessible.

 ● The following pairs of boxes may be drawn on the Board

Student A rolls the dice four times.

 In each turn they have to fill up one of the boxes.

 In four turns student 

A forms a number by filling the four boxes marked A Similarly, 

student B fills up the boxes in B by successively rolling the dice four times.

 Students may compare the four-digit numbers so formed. 

 The student who forms a larger or smaller number is the winner.

 It can be extended to five digits also. 

 This will strengthen their learning of the numbers. 

Teachers may use similar games/puzzles/activities in the classroom and 

encourage students to device such activities.

Activity W4.6: Roll and Build the Largest (or Smallest) Number!

 Objective:

To strengthen students’ understanding of place value and number comparison by forming multi-digit numbers using dice rolls.

How to Play:

Setup:

• This game can be played by two individual students or two teams.

• Each student/team gets a set of four boxes labeled A1, A2, A3, A4 (for Student A) and B1, B2, B3, B4 (for Student B).

• Use a tactile or accessible die if needed.

• Draw or print the boxes on paper, or display them on a board.

Steps:

1. Student A rolls the die 4 times. After each roll, they must immediately choose one of their 4 boxes to place the number.

   • Once a number is placed, it cannot be changed.

2. Student B does the same using their own 4 boxes.

3. Once all boxes are filled, both students read their 4-digit numbers aloud.

4. The winner is determined by comparing numbers:

   • Option 1: Highest number wins (default mode).

   • Option 2: Smallest number wins (challenge mode).

 Example:

Rolls for Student A:

• Roll 1: 🎲 4 → Places in A2

• Roll 2: 🎲 6 → Places in A1

• Roll 3: 🎲 1 → Places in A4

• Roll 4: 🎲 5 → Places in A3

Number A forms: 6415

 Rolls for Student B:

• Roll 1: 🎲 2 → Places in B3

• Roll 2: 🎲 6 → Places in B1

• Roll 3: 🎲 3 → Places in B2

• Roll 4: 🎲 1 → Places in B4

 Number B forms: 6321

Winner: Student A (6415 > 6321)

 Variations:

• Try the lowest number wins rule.

• Increase to 5-digit numbers.

• Add bonus rounds for drawing or writing number names.

• Ask students to estimate who might win before all rolls are complete.

 Key Learning Outcomes:

• Understand place value (thousands, hundreds, tens, ones)

• Practice strategic decision-making

• Compare multi-digit numbers

• Strengthen number sense in a game-based context

Use a simple 2x4 table (or image) like this to show students' boxes:

A1	A2	A3	A4
6	4	5	1

B1	B2	B3	B4
6	3	2	1

 Discussion Prompt:

• What would you do differently next time?

• Which roll was most important?

• Did strategy help or was it just luck?
