Markdown Showdown

Copy onto cards the dollar amounts shown below, one per card. Label equal sections of two spinners "10%," "20%," "25%," "%," "40%," "50%."

One partner selects a card. Then each partner spins a spinner. The percent on the spinner stands for the discount on an item with the price shown on the card. Each partner then writes his or her discounted price. Each partner spins a spinner a second time and writes the price after another discount has been taken. The partner who must pay the least after two discounts wins the round. Play several rounds, taking turns selecting a card.
