Okta challenges you to a duel! Collect cards with a specified sum, and you

what types of numbers (whole numbers or decimals), and Okta’s level of strategy
(easy to hard).
Prefer playing on a computer? Come to Illuminations where we have a web-version
of Deep Sea Duel. Would you like some help refining your
strategy? View the recording of a past webinar and other resources

the table feature to capture results and look for patterns. Got a particular

mode.

By yourself or against a friend, match whole numbers, shapes, fractions, or
