THE TRIPLETS CALCULATOR GAME

Today Dion and Jema made the first ShowMe movie on the iPad to demonstrate their maths learning. A triplet number is a three digit number using the same digit, such as 777 or 333. Dion and Jema show us how to change 659 into 555, by adding or subtracting to each number.
Can you teach someone in your family to play Triplets? You might like to teach them how to play Twins – a two-digit number – to get started.
Feel like a challenge? Let’s play Quads! What steps would you take to make 4321 into a Quads number?  Write your comment here.
