Cut out the 12 cards. Draw and shade a different sized rectangle on each
card. Write your initials on the back of each card.
Work with a partner. Combine your cards and place them facedown in a
pile. Flip over one card each and find the area of the rectangle.
Compare your rectangles. The player with the larger area takes both
cards.If both cards have an equal area players turn over a second card
and compare them.
Continue playing until there are no cards left in the pile. The player with
the mostcards wins the round.
Variations: 1. The player with the smaller area takes both cards.
2. Compare perimeter instead of area.
