Ideally, students will place counters strategically. For example, if they get they draw the cards 1 and 3 and they already have a 'teen' number covered they would place the counter on '31.' Students will often end up with more than one counter in each row as they reach the point in the game that they only have a few rows left to cover a number in. This game can be useful to help students who are having trouble with reversing numerals when reading numbers, for example, 14 as 41 or vise versa.
