Montessori Number Knockdown | Wooden Math Dice Game for Kids & Family

Make math the game everyone wants to play. Montessori Number Knockdown is a classic wooden "shut the box" dice game built for up to 4 players. Roll the dice, add up the numbers and knock down the matching tiles. It's simple enough for a 3-year-old learning to count and exciting enough to keep grandparents playing all evening.

Why Kids and Parents Love It

• Builds early math skills: every roll is a quick addition problem, so kids practise counting, number recognition and mental math without noticing.
• Up to 4 players at once: each side of the board has its own row of numbers 1–10, so the whole family can play together.
• Screen-free family fun: a perfect game night, rainy-day or grandparents' house activity.
• Classic wooden design: solid wood tiles and a soft green felt rolling area that keeps the dice quiet and on the board.
• Grows with your child: start with counting dots, then move on to adding, strategy and planning ahead.

How to Play

1. All number tiles start in the "up" position.
2. Roll both dice and add the numbers together.
3. Flip down any tiles that add up to your total. Roll a 7? Knock down the 7, or 3 + 4, or 1 + 6.
4. Keep rolling until you can't make your total with the tiles left.
5. Add up your remaining tiles. The lowest score wins, and knocking down every tile is a perfect "shut the box"!

Tip for little ones: younger children can simply count the dots and flip down the matching number.
