Game Board Design First Quarter Decimal Project Creating a Math Board Game
You have challenges like roadblocks or false paths that make you backtrack. Then you land on a lucky square that lets you leap forward past your opponent. Best of all, you are with your friends as you play. For this quarter project, you will use mathematics to create a game. Then you will play your game with friends or family for a trial run. Finally, you will decorate your game and bring it to class to play. What makes a board game so much fun?
Choose a setting for your game board. Is the game in a cave, in a castle, or in a person’s digestive tract? Decide whether you want players to move by selecting cards, rolling number cubes, or both. Do you want the end of the game to be determined by the number of points someone has or by reaching an end square? Planning
Make a draft of your game board. Add details. Use good judgment in determining questions to answer in order to move around your board. Think of adventures and misadventures for your game like “ See a shooting star. Round 12.392 to the nearest tenth to make a wish and move forward 5 spaces” or “Fall off a cliff. Multiply 15.7 x 0.0003 correctly or move back 3 spaces.” Developing
