Box Cars series "Deca Dice" page 86

Concepts:

Rounding, Probability

Equipment:

Cards 0-9, 00-90 die, 2 Bingo Chips and game board

Goal/Object:

To be the closest to the target number and to have the most cards in their point pile.

How to Play:

Each player turns over 2 cards and arranges them to make their number. They round their numbers to the nearest 10's place and place their own bingo chip on the 10's place they rounded to. After the bingo chips are placed, one player rolls the decade (00-90) die to get their target and places the die on the 10's place target. Whomever has their bingo chip closest to the target die, wins all the cards and places them into their point pile. If there is a tie, both players keep their own cards.

Example:

Player one's cards are 4 and 7 makes 47 (could have made 74). Player two's cards are 9 and 3 makes 39 (could have made 93). Player one rounds to 50 player two rounds to 40. The decade die was rolled and showed 30. Player two was closest. Player two wins all 4 cards.

Thought Provoker:

What would have happened if one or both players chose to go with their other possibility and the decade die still rolled 30?
