Instructions
Write the numbers 1-10 (or 1-20) along the top of your paper.
Record your starting number (we used 100 but you can change the starting number to any number you like).
Player 1 chooses a divisor that will result in leftovers (remainders).
Player 1 works out the solution to their problem (in this case, Barbara worked out 100/7).
Player 1 collects the leftovers (remainders) as points.
The chosen number (in this case, 7) is crossed off the list of options.
A new starting number is determined by subtracting the leftovers from the previous starting number (e.g. 100 - 2 = 98).
Play continues until there are no more moves that can be made.
The winner is the person with the most leftovers.
