Hit the Target

Instructions

1. Player A enters a number in the calculator that is smaller than the target number.

2. Player B is challenged to add to that number to hit the target. For example if the target is 50 and Player A enters 32, if player B adds 18 they win the first round.

3. If Player B misses the target, the game continues with players adding and subtracting numbers until the target is hit and the round is won.

5. Player B can go first in the next round. The first to win three rounds wins the match.

Variations ➔ Play the game in teams rather than pairs ➔ Use different target numbers – 100, 75, 2.75, 0.007, negative numbers ➔ Use subtraction to work down to a target ➔ Use multiplication and division
