How
to Play:
1.
Players sit facing each other each with a place value chart
in front of them.
2.
Place the 'numeral cards' and the 'closest number to...' cards
in two piles face down between the two boards.

3.
One player turns over a card from 'closest number' pile and
reads it. This becomes the goal number.

4.
Players take turns to select a card from the top of the 'numerals'
pile and place them on the place value chart so as to have the
best chance at getting closest to the goal number.
5.
Once each player has placed a numeral in the Hundreds, Tens
and Units column the students calculate the difference between
their number and the goal number. The person who is 'closest'
to the goal number receives a point.
6.
The winner of the game is determined by the first person to
five tally marks.
