Math Night @home Games

Game 1. Pico, Fermi, Nada!

Players: 2 or more

Materials: Paper & Pencils

1. Players take turns being Ace

2. Ace writes down 3–digit secret number

3. Players take turns guessing the number

4. With each guess, Ace gives one or more of the following clues for each guessed number

PICO (place) – correct digit AND correct place

FERMI (digit) – correct digit BUT wrong place

NADA (nothing) – not a correct digit

As players get more information about the number, they start making educated guesses and deduce the secret number!

Game 2. Buzz!

Players: 2 or more

Materials: none

1. First player starts counting from 1

2. Each player takes turns counting the next number in line

3. The rule is to skip 7, multiples of 7 and any number that has 7 in it.

Example: 7, 14, 17, 21, 27, … are taboo numbers

4. Instead of saying the taboo numbers, the player has to say Buzz!

5. If a player says the taboo number instead of Buzz!, that player is eliminated.

Game continues until only one player (the winner) remains.

Game 3. Aim for Zero!

Players: 2 or more

Materials: Paper & Pencils

1. Each player writes the number 150 at the top of a piece of paper.

2. The first player can subtract any number 1 - 10 from 150 and write the difference.

3. The second player then does the same, choosing any number between 1 and up to 10 more than the number the first player selected and subtracting that number from the new difference.

The winner is the first to reach zero!
