These cards contain some lower-order questions and, focusing on the same mathematical topic, some more challenging questions - ones that require higher-order thinking skills. Cut them out and pair them up.

11. T-e Hun*re* #ame

This game is for two pla ers. 7ou need ten cards with the digits - to ; on them. 5t might also be useful to ha%e a two pieces of paper or card with two bo+es drawn on them to represent a twodigit number. Turn the cards face down and mi+ them up. The aim of the game is to make the closest number to /--. ,ach pla er takes one card to start with and decides whether that is the units or tens digit of their number and places it on their paper in front of them. ,ach pla er then takes a second card which becomes the missing digit of their twodigit number. The winner is the pla er whose number is closer to /--. 7ou could ha%e a points s stem so that the pla er with the closer number scores / point and then pla first to /-.
