Number of players: 2
Materials: Spinners
Totally Mental

Label equal sections of one spinner "2.3," "7.1," "3.4," "5," "6," "8." Label equal sections of a second spinner "4," "9," "12," "30," "50."

Both partners spin a spinner at the same time. The first partner to find the product of the resulting two factors mentally gets 1 point. (Hint: Use the distributive property.) Continue in the same manner until one partner has 10 points.
