  1. GAME DESIGN 6th grade math project Creating a Math Board Game

  2. Beginning the Project • What makes a board game so much fun? 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 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.

  3. ACTIVITY 1: PLANNING • 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?

  4. ACTIVITY 2: DEVELOPING • Make a draft of your game board. • Add details • Use good judgement 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.

  5. ACTIVITY 3: DESIGNING • Add details to your game board that requires decimal skills, such as: adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing decimals; place value; rounding and estimation with decimals; comparing and ordering decimals; reading and writing decimals. • You may include other math skills as well. • Make the size of the game board at least 11.5 in x 15 in. • Use illustrations and color. • Put a cardboard backing on the game board.

  6. ACTIVITY 4: ORGANIZING • Finish your game board. • Write the rules of your game. • Organize everything needed to play your game.
