Remainders game

Duration: 7:16

Instructions (select arrow)

Start with a collection of 24 things each.
Players take it in turns to roll the dice to determine how many groups their collection needs to be shared into.
- The player works out the solution to their division problem and explains their thinking to their partner who records their move.
- If the product cannot be evenly divided, players keep the remainders, and the collection of counters they were working with is reduced.
The player who reduces their collection to only 2 counters is declared the winner.
