Math Monday: Array Attack

A simple set-up for an independant math activity: Array Attack, courtesy of Teachers Pay Teachers https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Shark-Attack-The-Cooperative-Array-Building-Dice-Game-3922941

No need to download, you can simply take some graph paper and mark out a variety of hooks and fish (preferably close to one another to amp up the challenge) and provide a pair of dice. The two numbers rolled indicate the rectangular array and the player gets to choose a 'safe' spot to eat fish without getting hooked!

Younger kids enjoy simply marking out the array without getting caught, while you can extend the activity for older children by encouraging them to complete the multiplication questions.
