3. Play passes to the next player on the left.
4. If a player’s dinosaur lands on the same footprint as another
player, the two players have a “Showdown.” Each player
tosses the green number cube. The player with the larger
number wins and moves his/her dinosaur forward that many
spaces.
Players must first move all dinosaurs according to their rolls
before completing any Showdowns.
5. The first player to get all four dinosaurs to Forgotten Falls wins
the game.
6. When players run out of Problem Solving Cards, shuffle the
pack and place the cards face down again.
Game Variation
♦ To encourage cooperation and teamwork, have all
players solve the problems together.
♦ For added challenge, have players create their own word
and story problems using a dinosaur theme.

Note to Teachers and Parents:
Dino Math Tracks®is designed to help young children experience the
meaning and uses of whole numbers and numerals in an exciting
dinosaur game setting. Moves are determined by the toss of number
cubes, or the drawing of action number cards or problem solving cards.
With a focus on place value and problem solving strategies, Dino Math
Tracks reinforces goals set forth by the National Council of Teachers of
Mathematics.
Colorful and appealing, Dino Math Tracks features three separate sets of
playing rules and game variations to meet the needs and interests of
a broad range of children from grades 1 through 4. As children move
their dino herds along the color-coded track to Forgotten Falls, they will
not only develop and sharpen their problem solving skills—they’ll have
fun too!
