Tell students that they cannot double-check the book while playing. Students waiting for their turns act as judges for the student who is performing a task. If necessary, the judges can double-check the book or ask you to confirm that an answer is correct. If a student does not get an answer right, he or she cannot advance. To win, a student must roll the exact number needed to land directly on ¡Ganaste!; if a student does not roll the exact number to land on the last space, he or she moves back one space. / (1F)Embedded Formative Assessment:
