In this rapid-speed computation game, players use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division skills to be the first to arrive at a solution that equals 24. The students may use multiple steps and multiple properties to arrive at the number 24 and they must be the first at their table to do so in order to advance to the next level.
How to Play Object of the game: Make the number 24 from the four numbers on a game card.You can add, subtract, multiply and divide. Use all four numbers on the card, but use each number only once. You do not have to use all four operations. All number nines have a red center, so you can tell a nine from a six. Can you solve the card below?
4 x 3 = 12 12 x 2 = 24 24 ÷ 1 = 24
This is an easy card, called a “1 Dot,” because it has one white dot in the corner. Cards of medium difficulty have two red dots in the corner, and tough cards have three yellow dots.
