How to play
A game for 2 players. Students take turns to run and collect bean bags from a hoop. Using their number sense, they create equations (number sentences) where the player closest to a total of 20 wins.
Students take turns to run and collect a bean bag from the hoop.
After each collection, each student decides if they should keep or discard the selected bean bag.
Students have 3 turns each to run and choose a bean bag.
After 3 turns, students write the addition problem using numbers or drawings.
Students choose an efficient strategy to solve the sum they created.
Whoever has the sum closest to 20 wins and earns a point.
The first player with 5 points is the overall winner.
