I've been playing Adsumudi in class with my students the past few years. It's a nice way to review order of operations and to have number discussions as a class. I open up the game to exponents, square routes, factorials, exponents, etc.
Students play on their own for 3 minutes and then share back with the group.
When games are slower, I will share the first few numbers and operations and then see if students can complete the expression.
Highly recommended. Ignore the rules of the game and go all in for any operation. It really expands the expressions that students can name.
Happy to share more if you have more questions about how I run the game. The kids really enjoy it. It gets lots of kids who typically don't participate to share in class.
Hello, do you have examples of the templates you give the students, for example on the Estimation 180 would you have the too big/too small/just right on the handout?

Thanks! I had never heard of this before, I'll give it a shot sometime.

Here is my estimation template: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1smNxwZxOwnJhhLaihDK5Q96ksY6USLHf0eVlAot3u_s/edit?usp=sharing
I give students a half sheet to answer five questions for the Do Now (https://fivetwelvethirteen.substack.com/p/dos-and-donts-of-do-nows) and I copy these onto the back.
