In this episode of the Everyday Educator podcast, host Lisa Bailey talks with Jennifer Hester and Chris Blackburn \u2014 two of the original minds behind National Number Knockout (N2K) \u2014 about how this simple dice-and-numbers game turns math facts, exponents, and order of operations into something kids actually beg to play.   Jennifer and Chris break down exactly how to play (all you need is a 1\u201336 grid and three dice), share where to find sample boards, and explain how the game secretly builds skills in addition, multiplication, exponents, and even fractional exponents \u2014 without a single worksheet in sight. They also point parents to the packet waiting in the CC Connected Learning Center, including a &quot;Powers, Squares, and Cubes&quot; cheat sheet that makes patterns click for kids of every age.   You don't need to be a math person to get your family playing tonight. Whether you're aiming for the National Championship or just want your kids to stop dreading math, this episode gives you everything you need to start reclaiming the world of numbers \u2014 together.   &amp;nbsp;  This episode of Everyday Educator is sponsored by the 2027 CC Family Cruise featuring the National Memory Master Competition, the National Number Knockout Competition, &amp;amp; the National Commencement.
