Description
The game consists of a poster with two " pockets " in which students put cards and cards with numbers . The goal of the game is to arrange the given numbers exactly in the corresponding " pocket ", ie for each given number you need to determine whether it is composite number or prime number . The game is played by two teams ( red and blue ), and there are 5 students in each team . At the beginning of the game , each team has 10 points . The red team gets cards with the numbers printed in red , and the blue team gets cards with the numbers printed in blue . Each team draws 10 cards so that each member draws 2 cards , but the cards are not drawn at once but alternately . A member of the team draws a card , the team agrees together whether the drawn number is prime number or composite number and they have 30 seconds for that . Then the member who drew the card puts the card with the number in the corresponding " pocket ". Both teams play the game at the same time . Team members take turns and the game is over when both teams draw 10 cards and place them in their respective " pockets ". At the end of the game , the teacher takes out the number cards and assigns points to each team . For the correctly placed number the team gets 1 point , and for the incorrectly placed number the team loses 1 point . If the score is tied , the game continues alternately until one of the teams wins .
