| Materials: |
- 1 Everything Math Deck, 4 cards each of
numbers 0-10 and 1 card each of numbers 11-20 (or an equivalent set
of number cards)
|
| Number
of Players: |
Three (3) or Four (4)
NOTE:
Although this game can be
played by two players, it is more interesting when played by three or
four players.
|
| Directions: |
A player shuffles the deck and places
five cards face up on the playing surface. This player leaves
the rest of the deck face down and then turns over and lays down the
top card from the deck. The number on this card is the number to
be named.
In turn, players try to (re)name the
number on the set-apart top card by adding or subtracting the numbers
on two of the five face up cards.
- A successful player takes both the
two face up cards and the number-named top card. A
successful player also replaces those three cards by drawing from
the top of the face down deck.
- Unsuccessful players lose their
turns. But they turn over and lay down the top card from the
face down deck, and the number on this card then becomes the new
number to be named.
Play continues until all face down cards
have been turned over. The player who has taken the most cards
at the end wins.

| Example: |
Mae's
turn: |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
 |
 |
|
The
number to be named is 6. It may be named with 4+2, 8-2, or 10-4.
Mae selects 4+2. She takes the 4, 2,
and 6 cards. She replaces the 4 and 2 cards with the top two cards
from the face down deck and then turns over and lays down the next card to
replace the 6 (see below for results).

|
Mike's
turn: |
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
The new number to be named is
16. Mike can't find two cards with which to name 16, so he loses
his turn. He also turns over the next card from the face down deck
and places it on top of 16, and the number on this card becomes the new
number to be named.
Play continues as before.
