DIGIT GAME

Materials:
  • 1 Everything Math Deck, cards 0-10 only (or an equivalent set of number cards)
Number of Players:

Two (2) or more
Directions:
A player shuffles the card deck and places it facedown on the playing surface.  In each round, each player takes two (or three) cards from the top of the deck, and then makes and reads the largest (or smallest) number that can be made using those cards.  The player with the higher (or lower) number takes all the cards played in that round.

The game is over when players run out of cards.  The player with the most cards at the end wins.

NOTE:

Double-Digit Game is a Core Activity in Kindergarten Everyday Mathematics. When children play it, they roll two number cubes and then arrange them to make and read the largest (or smallest) number possible.
