TOPIC TWO MATH PROJECT: ADDING AND SUBTRACTING DECIMALS
TOPIC TWO MATH PROJECT: ADDING AND SUBTRACTING DECIMALS
DUE MONDAY, OCTOBER 8TH-
YOU MAY WORK ALONE ON THIS ACTIVITY OR WITH ONE OTHER PARTNER. TWO IS MAXIMUM.
Beginning the chapter 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 topic 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.
Activity One Planning: Choose a setting for your game board. Is the game in a cave, in a castle, or in a person’s digestive track? 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?
Activity Two: Developing: 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. Add 15.7 to 0.030 correctly or move back 3 spaces.”
Activity Three: Designing: Add details to your game board that require decimal skills such as adding, subtracting decimals, place value, rounding and estimation with decimals, scientific notation, expanded notation and even the rules of divisibility. You may include other math skills as well. Create the board using Power Point with slide size of 20 in x 20 in. Use illustrations and color and put a cardboard backing on the game board. (If you choose, you may modify the format to make smaller but make sure it is big enough but not “giant size.” We may want to display it. If there is another format you wish to use, please discuss with your teacher).
Activity Four: Organizing: Finish your game board and write the rules of your game. Organize everything needed to play your game.
