OK, everybody, welcome back! We're here today to have a look at the game multiplication toss, which some people also call how close to 100. To play today I'm using a spinner, and I just made it by printing out a decagon and drawing lines across the opposite angles and labeling it from 0 to 9.
And I'm going to use my paper clip that I found in the drawer, and a pen and I can flick it...

How to play
How to play
Take turns to roll the dice and spin the spinner and fill in the game board. For example:
If a 2 is rolled and ‘hundredths’ are spun, we record our move as a fraction (2/100) and as a decimal (0.02).
Colour in on the game board.
Complete the 'What I filled' column in words. For example, 'two-hundredths'.
Calculate the total and record as a decimal.
Use a different coloured marker or pen to fill in the game board for each turn.
The winner is the first player to fill in 1-whole (their entire gameboard) or the player who’s gameboard is closest to 1-whole after 10 spins.
If a player spins a fraction that won’t fit into the available space, they miss their turn.
You can partition a roll in equivalent ways.
For example, I rolled 3-tenths but I only have 2-tenths left empty, and some hundredths too.
I can partition my 3-tenths as 2-tenths, 8-hundredths and 2-hundredths more to colour in 3-tenths of my gameboard in total.

What was the difference between the final game board totals for each player? (By how much did the player win?)
How could you prove it?
What are some similarities and differences between your two game boards?
