How to Play
The First Time
- Project your screen on a whiteboard or smartboard
- The diamond will be blank at first
- Explain that the top of the diamond is the product and the bottom is the sum
- Reveal all four boxes by clicking them
- Click the light gray refresh button (or anywhere at the top of the page) to get a new diamond
Once students know how to play...
- Students work in small groups or pairs
- Each group uses a mini whiteboard and draws a diamond on it
- Load a blank diamond on the screen
- Reveal just two boxes by clicking them
- EASY: Reveal the two side boxes
- MEDIUM: Reveal one side box and either the top or bottom box
- HARD: Reveal the top and bottom box
- The first group to show the teacher a completed diamond with all four numbers wins
- Refresh the page for a new diamond while the students pass the whiteboard to the next student in their group (or pair partner)
- Play again!
