Pica Fummi

This week I have been learning about a Maths game called Pica Fummi. Today I am going to tell you how to play it!

Rules
  • Pica means right number wrong place.
  • Fummi means right number right place.
To play this game you will need a white board and white board marker and a partner.
Start off by putting numbers to ten going down the white board like this.










  1.  
Once you have done that you are ready to go. Pick a three digit number (No double digits) Once chosen a number ask your partner to say any three digit number.
EG:

  1.  103
  2.  
  3.  
  4.  
  5.  
  6.  
  7.  
  8.  
  9.   
  10.  
If your partners number has a right number wrong place put 1 Pica, if he has a right number right place put Fummi eg: Your number was 103.
  1.  589 -------
  2.  102 2 Fummi
  3.  301 2 Pica 1 Fummi
  4.   
  5.  
  6.  
  7.  
  8.  
  9.  
  10.   
So as you have seen the line on number 1 that means there is no number at all in it but if your partner does get your number they have one. 
EG:
  1.  589 --------
  2.  102 2 Fummi
  3.  301 2 Pica 1 Fummi
  4.  103 3 Fummi
  5.  
  6.  
  7.  
  8.  
  9.  
  10.  
If your partner wins they pick the number next.
If your partner gets to ten then you get to pick the number again.

So as you can see this is the maths game Pica Fummi. It may seem hard to understand but when you understand it is quite easy.

    This is a great explanation of the game that Mr B taught you, you are the first person who has been able to write instructions that I get!!
    You have written clear instructions for the game and it seems like your groups have really enjoyed playing it. It's a good game to help everyone's understanding of place value, keep up the great work.
