On a large sheet of paper (or several smaller sheets taped together) draw the game board shown below. Label equal sections of one spinner "5%," "10%," "15%," "20%," "25%," "30%." Label equal sections of a second spinner "20," "40," "60."

Game board

Each group member places a counter on the "Start" square. To determine how many squares to move on each turn, spin both spinners. Use the percent proportion to find the number that is the percent indicated on one spinner of the number indicated on the other spinner.

Continue, taking turns at the spinner, until one goup member reaches the "End" square.
