Materials

Directions

  1. Each player places a game marker on the starting number on the number line.
  2. Take turns spinning and moving on the number line to the mark that matches your spin.
  3. Say a number sentence that describes your move. Then write that move on the line on your recording sheet. Write the number you landed on in the circle below the line.

Example:

  • Start at 45. Spin "10 less."
  • Say, "45 − 10 = 35."
  • Write "−10" (your spin) on the line and 35 (where you landed) in the circle.
  1. The player who reaches the larger number after 4 spins wins.
