Each game uses popsicle sticks numbered 0-9 to teach math skills. Game 1 has students draw one stick each, with the highest number winning both sticks. Game 2 has them draw two sticks and do a hidden math operation to determine the winner. Game 3 teaches place value as students form the largest or smallest number possible from sticks drawn.
