1. Print and cut out the spinners on BLM: Spinners. Use the paper clips and pencils to complete the spinners.
2. The first player spins both spinners. The player to the left starts the timer.
3. The first player places the smallest number spun over the largest number to form a fraction. If the numbers are equal, place either one over the other. If two zeroes are spun, the player receives 5 points, and play moves to the next player.
4. The player has 10 s to estimate the percent that is equivalent to the fraction. Points are awarded according to the table.
Example: The fraction is <a onClick="window.open('/olcweb/cgi/pluginpop.cgi?it=gif::::/sites/dl/free/0070973385/505858/ml8_games_002.gif','popWin', 'width=NaN,height=NaN,resizable,scrollbars');" href="#"><img valign="absmiddle" height="16" width="16" border="0" src="/olcweb/styles/shared/linkicons/image.gif"> (0.0K)</a>. The player estimates the equivalent percent is 39%. The
player uses the calculator to check the correct answer of 37.5%. The player receives
1 point for the answer since it is within 2% of the correct answer.
5. Play moves to the next player. The player to the left is the timer.
6. End the game after 20 rounds. The winner is the player with the highest score.
