Scoring
: You get two
attempts to solve each
problem. You earn 2
points for a correct

on the second try.
You can earn up to 10
points.
Screen Cross
1. Read the directions on the screen, and then press any key to

answer correctly before
the next line segment is
shown.
The player who reaches
the right side of the grid
first wins.
Linked Calculators Screen Cross
Play Screen Cross against another student. Race another student
across the screen by calculating the slopes more quickly than
your opponent.
1. Connect two similar calculators using a unit-to-unit cable.
2. Use the grid to help determine the slope of the line segment as
quickly as possible.
3. Select the slope as you did in Screen Cross.
4. Who won?
