Design a Math Game Project
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 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. 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.

Video Lessons Used in Class Fourth graders will be taking the NWEA MAP Math Test on May 13, 14, and 15. Testing will take place during our math class from 11:10-12:25. Additional time will be designated for students who need complete their test outside of our testing days. Please encourage your child to eat healthy meals, drink plenty of water, participate in physical activity, and get enough sleep. When testing remind your child to work carefully, pay attention to details, and check work before moving on. If you have questions please contact Mrs. Maddox.
The first seven lessons of Hands-On Equations involved students learning to physically represent and solve algebraic linear equations such as: 2(x + 4) + x = x + 16. This week we will begin Level II students will gain familiarity with positive and negative numbers. Students will physically represent and solve such equations as 2x + (-x) + 3 = 2 (-x) + 15.
