Rules for playing a Math Dice point…

RULE 1 Once you call out a number, you must stick to that number until your opponent has found a closer number

If you do call out a second number that is closer to the Target, you can’t use it.

Worse than this… Your opponent can use it if they find an equation that works.

Players have 15 seconds to find a closer number than the one in play Players have 15 seconds to find a closer number than the one in play. If they can’t do so, then bidding stops.

RULE 2 When a player wins a point, he/she must state the equation they used for their answer.

If player can’t come up with the equation used to win the point or states the wrong answer: First time this happens, is a Do-Over Second time and beyond this, the Point is awarded to your Opponent

RULE 3 Call a Tie and Roll Again If two players call out the same number at the same time, or call out two numbers equal distance from the Target Number at the same time… Call a Tie and Roll Again

If you have a question or need a ruling from your teacher: Raise your hand to call for attention

Your referee has the last word on EVERYTHING!
