Double Digits - Doubling 2 digit numbers

The game "Double Digits" is an engaging educational activity designed to help learners practice doubling two-digit numbers. To participate in this game, players require a pair of dice numbered from 0 to 9. The objective is to reach a pre-selected target number that falls between 100 and 170 by doubling two-digit numbers created from dice rolls.

Players take turns rolling the dice and then decide which die represents the tens place and which represents the units place, leading to two potential two-digit numbers. For instance, rolling a 3 and an 8 could yield either 38 or 83 as the player's number. The chosen number is then doubled in an attempt to get as close as possible to the target. For example, if the target number is 130, it would be more strategic to double 83 to obtain 166, rather than doubling 38. Each player gets three attempts per round, and the player closest to the target scores a point. The first player to accumulate 5 points emerges as the winner of the game. A helpful tip for players is to consider halving the target number to better decide the order of the digits. Additionally, breaking the number into tens and units before doubling can simplify the calculation process, as demonstrated with doubling 83 (80 + 3) to get 166 (160 + 6).
