Narrative
Before playing, students remove the cards that show the number 10 and set them aside.
Each student picks 7 cards and chooses 4 of them to create 2 two-digit numbers. Each student adds the numbers and the student whose sum is closest to 100 wins a point for the round. Students pick new cards so that they have 7 cards in their hand and then start the next round.
