Land Grab (Division without remainders)
About this game:
This is the fourth game in the Land Grab series. Players try to capture your land by knowing division facts. Role-playing is important in this game. You are royalty or a land baron and own everything: be haughty and condescending. It provides motivation. When players capture parcels of land, lament the fact that they are acquiring too much! When they point to steps near the top tell them “ Oh no that parcel has the view of the bridge, I didn’t want you to get that one”, etc. You make this activity a game vs. math problems.
