Students, go to the discussion page and respond to the topic "Get to Zero". Please RESPOND to the topic and do not start your own discussion. Your answers need to be given in complete sentences. Get to Zero

Materials: A calculator for each pair of students.

Directions: 1. Players choose a 3-digit number (example: 500)

2. Players choose an initial operation and number (ex. divide 500 by 5); any number from 1 to 9 and any operation can be used. __Only whole numbers are allowed! If an operation results in a decimal answer, players must go back and try another number and/or operation.__

3. Players perform the calculation mentally or on the calculator and record the result on paper (ex. 500/5 = 100) so they can look back over their work.

4. Players repeat steps 2 and 3 until they get to zero.
