Play the Integer Game at home!

Looking for a new family game night activity...Play the Integer Game at Home!!!

Integer Game Rules                         Math 7
How to Play
The Integer Game is designed for 2 to 4 players. Students play the game with a learning partner or with a cooperative learning group of students. Each player begins the game with a score of zero. The object of the game is to return to a score of zero by picking up and discarding integer cards. The number of cards dealt to each player can be adjusted based on students’ familiarity with an operation and to differentiate for varying student ability levels. Below are the basic rules:

1. A student serves as the dealer (as well as a player) and provides each player with four cards.

2. The dealer turns one more card face up on the playing surface, starting a discard pile. The remaining cards become a draw pile.

3. The player to the dealer’s left begins play. On his or her turn, a player may select the top card from either the draw pile or the discard pile. The player must keep this card and discard another card from their hand to the discard pile.

4. A player’s goal is to have their hand’s total card value stay as close to zero as possible. So for each turn, a player must determine how the card drawn affects their hand’s total card value, by counting up or down accordingly. Also, a player must decide which card to discard, so as to keep the total value of their hand as close to zero as possible

5. Play continues with the next player, in the same manner, until all players have picked up and discarded a card four times.

6. The player(s) with a score of zero wins the round.
