Game: Estimation Frustration
Equipment: 2 dice, 1 calculator
How to Win: The Winner is the first person to 40 points
How to Play: Roll the dice for your partner. Make a two-digit number (ext/ena is number of digits/decimals etc). E.g. roll a 4 and 3 could make 3.4, 4.3, 34, 43 etc.
Write this number down.
Roll the dice again and make a second number. Write this number down.
Show these two numbers to your partner. They have 10 seconds to write an estimate of the product.
Use a calculator to work out the answer and compare to the partners estimate.
Score as follows:
Spot on = 20 pts
Less than 10/100/1000 off = 10 pts
Between 10/20, 100/200, 1000/2000 off = 5 pts
More than this = 0 pts
