Fundamentals Game
Students each draw 4 cards to make a 4-digit number. They fill in the blanks of the first round. The player that makes the greatest number gets a point. They do the same for rounds 2 and 3. The student with the most points at the end is the winner. The game board can be placed in a sheet protector for multiple uses.
Spread the place-value ones cards from The Number Case or playing cards A-9 face down on a table. Each student selects four cards. They both use the cards to create the greatest possible four-digit number they can. Repeat as time allows. Have students record the greatest and least four-digit number they made an the four-digit number that is closest to 5,000.
Have the students cut the support page into two game boards. In turn, students draw a card. The number drawn is added or subtracted from the start number for that round. The students with the highest total at the end of each round earns a point. The student with the most points after three rounds wins the game.
