Get ready to roll! In this engaging digital game, students take turns rolling the dice and moving around a colourful game board made up of mini worlds inspired by other Digi-Games, like the ocean, race track, mountains, and more.

With every correct answer, students advance through the board while strengthening their understanding of number sequences. From small numbers to larger ones, players identify what comes just before a given number – an essential skill for building strong place value knowledge.
