Oakens – Shut The Box

The Oakens very proudly brought home their home made versions of the ‘Shut The Box game, complete with carry pouches to make them fully mobile so they can practice their number bonds on the go! The goal of Shut the Box is to close as many numbered tiles (or “shutters”) as possible by rolling dice and using their combined total to match and “shut” the numbers on the board. The lower your score at the end of the game, the better. This project combined woodwork, sewing and maths!
