Math Game board Guidelines – Raus
Your challenge…

I challenge you to create a math game in the form of a board game. You may base your game on others you have seen before (i.e. chutes and ladders, the game of life, monopoly, candy land, etc…) or you can come up with your own concept! You will have to name your game, something clever and math(y), design the board, create a page of directions for your players, and create questions for players to answer! Sound fun so far?!

Directions…

1. 
   Design a draft of your board game on construction paper. (This will be provided to you)
   
2. 
   Name your game – Try to name it something math(y) and fun!
   
3. 
   You will have to designate certain spaces on your board game as “question spaces”. When your players land on these select spaces they will pick a card from your question deck.
   
4. 
   Question Deck: The cards in your question deck will require the players to answer a question to advance in the game. The topics of these
   

questions will be:

1. 
   Pythagorean theorem
   
2. 
   Trigonometric functions
   
3. 
   Trigonometric ratios
   
4. 
   Finding missing sides of a right triangle
   
5. 
   Inverse trigonometric functions to solve for missing angles of a right triangle.
   
6. 
   Definitions
   
7. 
   Real world application problems.
   

• 
  It is up to you to decide what the player will have to do if they answer the question correctly, and if they answer it incorrectly.
  
• 
  Your group will make up a deck of question cards with 30 cards total. This means 30 questions covering ALL of the topics mentioned above.
  
  • 
    You can write the final questions with solutions for your board game on a set of index cards. These will also be provided.
    
• 
  These questions must include the appropriate work shown, and correct solutions.
  

5. 
   You will need to make dice, and player pieces. (Clay will be provided)
   
6. 
   Refer to the schedule below to be aware of what should be done at the end of each class period we work on our game boards.
