Close to 1,000 Game

This week in class we played the Close to 1,000 Game.
In this game, each player drew 6 digit cards that might look like this:

Then we formed two 3-digit numbers and recorded them on our game sheet. We added the numbers and figured out how far away the number was from 1,000 (the difference).  This became our score.  We played 5 rounds and added up our score.  The winner was the person with the LOWEST score.  This game made us think and plan new strategies.  We loved this game!
