Hands-on activity

Instructions

Example of setting up as per the instructions.

Getting started

  • Each player creates a gameboard using 6 array cards.

  • Set aside the remaining array cards.

  • Place the descriptor cards in a pile, face down.

Example of matching array cards.

Matching arrays

  • Turn over a descriptor card. If a player has the matching array card on their gameboard, they may turn the array card over.

  • If both players have the matching array card, they can both turn over their cards.

  • If neither player has the matching array card, turn over the next descriptor card in the pile.

Example of rotating an array to make a match.

Making a match

  • Players can use the commutative property to rotate the arrays, so they can make a match.

For example, they could take an array that was structured as 3 twos and rotate it to show 2 threes. 

An example of a finished game.

How to win

  • The winner is the first player to turn over all their cards and say ‘bingo!’

Speaking activity

Reflection:

  • What arrays did you rotate to make a match?

  • Did rotating (moving around) the arrays change the total number of dots? Why/Why not?

  • What strategies did you use to determine how many dots there are in the arrays?

  • Were there any arrays where you knew how many dots there were? Which ones?

Challenge!

Hands-on activity
  • Swap the piles of cards used in the game. Make a gameboard using the descriptor cards and turn over the array cards instead.
