Take Six

Copy onto cards the mixed numbers shown below, one per card. Shuffle the cards and divide them evenly.

One group member places two cards face up and estimates their product by rounding each mixed number to the nearest whole number. In turn, each of the other group members places two cards face up and tells the estimated product of the mixed numbers shown. The group member with the greatest product wins all six cards. Continue in the same way, taking turns presenting the first product, until all of the cards have been played. The winner is the group member with the most cards at the end of the game. If time allows, shuffle the cards and start over.
