This is a great game/lesson to do when you have a block of waiting time, such as at bus call. Or, you can play this at the start or end of a math lesson. The object of the game is for the kids to guess the number you are thinking of. They must narrow it down by asking questions. I typically limit the number of questions they can ask because it makes them have to think. The catcher is that the questions have to contain math vocabulary, which is a great review. For example, they can't say, "Is the number on the right a 7?" You might have them say, "Is the digit in the one's place an odd number between 6 and 8?" The attached sheet is a sample sheet that I give the kids the first time I play. It sort of takes them through how things work and what is expected as far as how the questions must contain math terms. Click here to see this critical thinking math game.
