Activity 1: Introduce How Close?, Add to 1,000 (15 minutes)
Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to learn stage 4 of the How Close center. Students pick a given number of digit cards and then choose a subset of those to make an expression that yields a number as close as possible to the target number. Before playing, students remove the cards that show 10 and set them aside. Each student picks 8 cards and chooses 5 or 6 of them to create 2 three-digit numbers. Each student adds the numbers. The score for the round is the difference between each student's sum and 1,000. Students pick new cards so that they have 8 cards in their hands and then start the next round. The player with the lowest score after 10 rounds wins.
