| Materials: |
- a calculator for each player
- score sheet
|
| Number
of Players: |
One (1) or Two (2)
|
| Object
of the Game: |
To reach 100 in as few
divisions as possible.
|
| Directions: |
The [ ]
key is used to generate the numbers you will be dividing. It is
not used for any other part of the game.
|
|
- On a piece of paper, prepare a score
sheet as shown at the right.
- Each player chooses a number and enters
it on the calculator.
- Each player presses the

- Players take turns. Each player
uses the final digit (the one furthest to the right) in the
calculator display as a 1-digit number and uses the two digits
before the final digit as a 2-digit number.
- Each player divides the 2-digit number
the 1-digit number and records the result. (This result is the
quotient. Remainders are ignored.) Players calculate
mentally or on paper, not on the calculator. Do not clear the
calculator.
- The players press []
and repeat Steps 3 and 4 until the sum of a player's quotients is
100 or more. The winner is the first player to have a total
score of 100 or more. If there is only one player, the object
is to reach 100 or more in as few turns as possible.

| Example: |
First
turn:
Enter 5678 and press [].
On a 10-digit display, the result is 75.35250494.
Divide 49 by 4. The quotient is 12 with a remainder of 1.
Second turn:
Without clearing the calculator, press [].
The result is 8.680582062.
Divide 06, or 6, by 2. The quotient is 3.
Third turn:
Without clearing the calculator, press [].
The result is 2.946282753.
Divide 75 by 3. The quotient is 25. |
