Games

  • Start with a deck of cards turned face down. You and a friend each draw one card from the deck and turn it face up so you both can see it. The first player to call out the correct product of the two cards wins both cards. If both players call out incorrect answers, place the cards in the discard pile. The game ends when no cards are left in the deck pile. The player with the most cards is the winner.

The Name Game

  • Discover how much your first name is worth if every consonant has a value of $5 and vowels are $10. Compare the value of your name with those of your friends. Graph the class results to see which names have the greatest and least value. Find the range of numbers (the difference between the greatest and least value). What do you notice on the graph about the names with the greatest and least value?
