Chemistry Significant Figures Dots and Boxes Partner Activity

Students can engage with each other in a fun game of dots and boxes while determining the number of significant figures in a number.

Here's how to play significant figures dots and boxes:

• students take turns drawing horizontal and vertical lines between adjacent dots

• when a student draws a 4th line and closes the box, they add their initials or color in the box

• the student determines the number of significant figures in the number in the box (i.e. 305 has 3 significant figures)

• the student gets to record 3 points on their point tally sheet

• the student who closed the box gets to draw another line

• players continue taking turns until all boxes are closed and claimed

• the player with the highest total points will win the game!
