Description	Originally written as an emergency lesson plan for my chemistry and physics classes, it could be used in almost any low-to-mid level math or science class. Introduction: In this game, you will pit your wits and mental skill against those of your classmates. Your battlefield is number sense, the ability to see values (numbers) in your head and make estimations and comparisons about an object or objects or values size. May the fastest mind win!

This provides a fun way to use the sim and has some good questions at the end to help students relate the game to their own everyday environment. 10/01/03 Trish Loeblein
