Close to 100

Featured Blogger: Cami
In 3Sp we have math at the end of the day. This week we have been playing a game called “Close to 100.” In “Close to 100,” we have 5 single digit cards. We have to take 2 different cards and we have to use them to make a 2 digit number. Say your hand was 5, 4, 0, 4, 3, you could take the cards 5 and 7 and make 57, then take 4 and 3 and make 43. In “Close to 100” we try to get as close to 100 as possible, as in this example you would actually get to 100! Sometimes you can't get to 100 at all; like: 1, 3, 8, 5, WILD. Here there is a WILD card and WILD cards mean: any number you want it to be! For example if you had 2, 3, 0, 7, WILD you would probably want to do 2 and 3 and make 23, then take 7 and WILD as 7 and make 77. If you do that, then you will get to 100! After you've taken your turn you have to record your turn on your recording sheet which is on SAB page number 39. SAB stands for Student Activity Book. In my opinion I think “Close to 100” is a fun-filled math game!
