Narrative
Before playing, students remove the cards that show 10 and set them aside.
Students spin the spinner to get the divisor for the round. Each student picks 6 cards and chooses 3–4 of them to create a dividend. Each student finds their quotient. The score for the round is the remainder from each expression. Students pick new cards so that they have 6 cards in their hand and then start the next round. The player with the lowest score after 6 rounds wins.
