This week students will be presenting their game to the class and explaining their idea and design process. Students will then have the opportunity to play their games and give/receive feedback. Games will be sent home at the end of the week and students will be sharing them with family and friends. Please check in with your child and ask them to tell you about the game they designed.

Students will be taking the NWEA - MAP test during our math block this week. Please remind your child to eat nutritious meals, drink plenty of water, and get a good night of sleep to help them be at their best. Thanks!!
Mrs. Maddox will be out of the building today and students will have a sub for math class. Students will be taking the NWEA MAP Math test next week, beginning on Monday. We have scheduled testing during our math block M-W, however students will be given additional time if needed. Students will use Prepdog and IXL to practice a variety of skills. Prepdog is a collection of quick assessments that auto-grade as soon as they are completed.
Prepdog Grade 4 www.prepdog.org/4th-grade.htm Prepdog Grade 5 www.prepdog.org/5th-grade.htm IXL Link www.ixl.com/math/ This week students will design a math game that will be presented to the class next week.Games will be designed and created this week (M-TH) and again next week. We will be testing and sharing games next week as well. Please check in with your child and ask them about the game they are creating - they are awesome!
Objective: You will create a math game that relates to one math concept we have covered this school year. The game should be able to re-teach or reinforce an objective we learned this year. The game should be geared toward 4th-5th grade students. Upon completion of this project, you will have a chance to test some of your classmate’s games. Game types could be, but not limited to:
Topic: Pick a topic from the list below or create your own (must be approved before beginning)
Create a rough draft of your idea and game board. Submit to your teacher for approval before creating your actual game. Name: Give your game a fun, creative name. Theme: Create a theme for your game. Be creative and carry your theme throughout the entire game and packaging. It should attract 4th and 5th grade students. They should want to play your game. Ex: Sponge Bob Monopoly. Sponge Bob, his environment and all his friends are seen throughout the game. Game Concept: Your game should be a game that reinforces a concept you have learned in math so far this school year. The game should carry that math concept throughout the length of play. It should help the players grasp a better understanding of that concept and give them enough confidence to feel they have mastered the skill taught by the end of the game. Game Directions: Clear, step by step, instructions on how to play the game.
Game pieces: Choose or create your pieces to match your theme. Packaging: Create the packaging for your game. It should be able to fit on a game shelf. Large posters boards will not fit on a shelf. You should make the game compact such as a Monopoly board (foldable). The game MUST be in a box, envelope or a bag. I suggest making a folder game. Neatness: Your project should be attractive, neat, typed, easy to read and colorful. Make a student want to pick your game above any other game on the shelf. Remember to make time to play your game several times to test for accuracy, entertainment value, and improvement. Revise, if needed, to perfect your project. Due to a band concert at 10:15 our math class will be shorter today. Mrs. Maddox is also out for the morning, so a guest teacher will be here during math class. Students will work on problem solving.
