Jacob and James from Fishergate Primary
School played this game using our interactive
spinners.
Using spinners $1-6$ and $0-9$ we tried to see who would win if one
was even and one was odd. The odds won as we got these
numbers.

Then we found out the $3$ times table beat the $5$ times
table.

Someone else wrote in to tell us that they
found that broad sets work well if you have to get one but narrower
sets work better if you want to get them all. Jacob and James then
tried different spinners.
We did numbers more than $20$ and numbers less than $20$. Numbers
more than $20$ won because there are four tens on the left spinner
that would work but there are only two tens that would work for
less than $20$.
