How to Play

  1. Distribute one card to each student (some may get multiple if class is small)
  2. The student with "Start!" reads their card first: "I have Start! Who has (5 - 2)² + 1?"
  3. The student whose "I have" matches the answer calls out and reads their card
  4. Continue until someone says "Who has the end!" - the loop is complete!
