Description
How it works
Each domino has a fact on one half — 3 + 9, say — and an unrelated sum on the other. Deal about ten tiles each. Players take turns laying a tile whose end matches the value showing at either end of the chain, either an equivalent expression or the matching sum. The familiar shape of dominoes does the work: children who would stall on a worksheet will happily scan ten tiles for a match.
