17: CMP - The Product Game with Integers

Student 1: "Why did you do that? It doesn't help you!"

Student 2: "I know, but it blocks you!"

I am a huge fan of a lot of the resources that CMP offers as are my students. Last year my grade 6's played the Product Game (play here online) and loved it. So, they were super excited today when they had the chance to play the Product Game with Integers (play online here). I gave them about 15 minutes to play and try to gain a strategy before asking to complete some of the game's follow up questions.
