== Demonstration == # Set the poster board on one side of a table. Spread out the poker chips across the poker board. Set the mitt and goggles next to the poster board. ## If you brought the green tablecloth, set it on the table with the poster board on top. Spread out half of the poker chips on the poster board, and the other half on the green tablecloth, making two areas to play the game in. # When students come up, ask them if they would like to play a game. The goal is to collect as many poker chips as they can in 30 seconds. If they want to play, explain the following rules: ## You can only pick up one poker chip at a time. After you pick up a poker chip, you have to place it down in front of yourself before getting another one. ## When you put a poker chip in your pile, you have to turn and look away from the table before getting another one. ## You have to choose one of the "traits" to wear: the foggy goggles, the green filter goggles, or the rubber mitt. You have to wear them for the whole game. ## You can only use one hand to pick up poker chips. If you are using the rubber mitt, you have to use the hand wearing it. ## If you brought the green tablecloth, then they can choose which area to play on: the white board or the green cloth. # Get a timer on your phone or watch ready, and when the students are ready have them go! Stop after 30 seconds, and have them count out how many they got. # Have them compare how each performed. The student using the rubber mitt got the fewest, and both pairs of goggles seem to perform equally well. Ask them about what was easy to see and what wasn't. Were some poker chips hard to find?
