Head To Head: Straight Lines

Dr J Frost (jfrost@tiffin.kingston.sch.uk)

Head to Head
You are head to head with the
person on your table.

You must circle or underline your

answer to finalise it.

Once you finalise an answer, you

can’t change it.

The first person with the correct

answer wins.
Head Rear If both people get it wrong, the
8 9 person who previously won wins.
