Move On

Copy onto cards the digits 0 through 30, one digit per card. Shuffle the cards and place them face down in a pile. Label the sections of a spinner with the following inequalities: 3x - 5 > 11, 17 + c < 25, 4p > 16, + 15 < 20, 2f + 60 > 75, 42 - m > 21. On a large sheet of paper (or several sheets taped together), copy the game board below.

Both partners place a counter in the first square of a row. Decide which partner will go first. In turn, each partner selects a card and spins the spinner. You may advance one square on each turn only if the number on the card is part of the inequality's solution set.

The winner is the first partner to reach the tenth square.
