Instructions (select arrow)
Instructions (select arrow)
Divide your paper into eighths.
Roll a dice to determine how many circles (groups) you need to make.
Turn over a playing card (or roll the dice again) to determine how many stars to add into each circle.
Determine how many stars there are in total. You can draw all or some of the stars in each circle - you only need to draw what you need to help you work out the product.
Continue taking turns until each player has had 6 turns each.
Work together to work out who has the most starts altogether.
