Use this magic game to help your child learn his seven mathematics facts.

Demonstrate how the two directly opposite sides of a die always add up to the number seven.  For example, when four dots are showing face up, the face down side of the die is three dots and if two faces up, then five faces down, etc.

Throw a die or a number of dice several times, and have him divine the face down number on each die.
