Back and Forth Directions
• Each player starts at zero on an individual number line.
• Players should take turns rolling a standard number cube, labeled 1‒6.
• Each turn, the player must choose if the number rolled represents a positive
integer or a negative integer.
o If it is positive, the player moves that number of spaces to the right on
the number line.
o If it is negative, the player moves that number of spaces to the left.
• For each turn, the player should record the roll as a positive or negative
integer in the recording chart and then draw an arrow above or below the
number line to show that movement.
• Each player should roll and record five turns. The winner is the player who
ends closest to zero. If both players end at the same place, it's a tie.
