How to Play "Numberle"

Preparation:

Gameplay Instructions:

1. Setting the Secret Number:

   • Player 1 writes down any 4-digit number in the secret number box and keeps it covered to prevent Player 2 from seeing it.

2. Making Guesses:

   • Player 2 writes down a 4-digit number in the guess box on page 2 and says the number out loud (e.g., "four thousand, eight hundred and thirty-one" instead of "4, 8, 3, 1").

3. Providing Feedback:

   • Player 1 checks the guessed number and circles the numbers as follows:

     • Green circle: Correct number in the correct position.

     • Orange circle: Correct number but in the wrong position.

     • Red circle: The number is not used in the secret number.

4. Winning the Game:

   • Player 2 has five attempts to correctly guess the hidden number. If they guess the number within five tries, they win!

 

"Numberle" is a fantastic tool for making place value lessons interactive and enjoyable. It encourages students to think critically about the position and value of digits in a number, reinforcing their understanding through a hands-on approach.
