Maths game - Number Jump PDF Print E-mail

We played this great little game today in the car that I called "Number Jump". All you need is a 100s chart for each young player. They pick a number "bigger than one and smaller than ten". Then we start at that number, and each player puts their finger on that number on the chart. Then we take that many jumps again to get to the next number (so if we start at six we then land on twelve). A person "wins" if their number causes us to land on 100 exactly. However, many people can "win" if they pick the right numbers, so it's not limited to only one winner.

The kids enjoyed playing it. We played two rounds before the third landed us on 100 and by then they wanted to play a different game. So it was a success at least first time around :-)
