A Question of Quotients

Copy onto cards the expressions shown below, one per card. Shuffle the cards and place them face down in a pile. On a large sheet of paper (or several smaller sheets taped together) draw the game board shown below.

Work in pairs. Each partner places a counter on one of the shaded spaces on the circle. Each partner draws a card and finds the quotient. The quotient tells how many spaces to move your counter--clockwise for a positive quotient and counterclockwise for a negative quotient. The first pair whose counters land on the same space on the same turn wins. (Shuffle and reuse the cards as necessary.)
