A high-stakes, interactive classroom competition designed for 3rd-grade mastery.
The Unfair Game transforms standard math practice into a thrilling experience of risk, reward, and tactical decision-making. Specifically built for students to master multi-digit addition and subtraction (Standard 3.M.NBT.A.02).
🎯 The Objective
In a world where the rules are flipped, the goal is simple but counterintuitive:
Finish with the score closest to 0 to win!

-
The Reveal: Flip a tile on the mysterious 36-card grid. Behind each card lies a hidden value ranging from +9 to -9.
