Math 24
Math 24 is a challenging math game that you can play with a group of friends or by yourself. It is played with cards that have four numbers on them. You must add, subtract, multiply, and/or divide to get to the number 24. There are easy, medium, and hard cards. There are many variations of this game including single digits, with only numbers one through nine, double digits with numbers one through 24, exponents which uses regular numbers but you have to use an exponent at least once, and fractions and decimals where it uses all real numbers between one and nine.
Near the end of March and the beginning of April a tournament is held for the Arrowhead School District. Three people are selected from each school to participate in this. You play four rounds, in random groups of three players. If you win your round you get a blue chip, second place gets red chip, and third place gets a white chip. After the four rounds are completed, they give out one ribbon to a person from each school with the highest amount of points. Lastly, they give out places 1-6 for the overall highest points.
