Guess which number

How to play...
This resource was developed based on the traditional game of guess who. Two players each take a gameboard and select a yellow number card from the pile. The aim of the game is to guess the number on the other players number card. Players take turns asking each other questions to help them figure out what the number is. For example, the player on the blue team may ask, "Is your number smaller than 10?" If the player on the pink team's answer is "no", the then the player on the blue team should close all the flaps that show numbers that are smaller than ten; if the answer is "yes" then they should close all the flaps that show numbers that are bigger than ten. The player that offers the the number on the yellow card held by their opponent correctly wins the game.



All components of this resource have been laminated to ensure durability.

The game boards:
Each gameboard contains 24 flaps, each with small clear tabs to allow the windows to close effectively.



In addition, the numbers that sit underneath the window can be removed and changed to larger numbers to increase the level of difficulty.



Teaching focus:
This game focuses on children developing a deeper understanding of number properties. It fosters turn-taking and encourages children to talk to each other as well as strategizing using mathematical thinking.
