LESSON 9 Classify Numbers

Number Bingo

The goal is to place four markers in a row. This is a game for five players.

Materials

• two clear plastic spinners, or pencils and paper clips
• beans or other small markers
• Number Bingo Spinners and Number Bingo Game Boards pages in the Student Activity Book

Directions

1. One player is the Caller. The remaining players each choose a game board from the Number Bingo Game Boards page and mark the FREE space.
2. The Caller spins Spinner 1 and then Spinner 2, keeping a list of each spin on a piece of paper.
3. If there are any numbers on a player's game board that fit the descriptions on both spinners, he or she puts a marker on one of those numbers.
4. The first player with four markers in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) or a marker in each corner wins.
5. The Caller records the winner and the winning game board after each game.
6. Switch the Caller and game boards after each game.

Sample Play

The Caller spins “Odd” on Spinner 1 and “Square” on Spinner 2. A player can mark either 1, 25, or 49 on the game board shown below, since these numbers are both odd and square. No other numbers on the board match both.
