Group Project

Additional Activities __// Towards the end of the unit, each student will participate in a group project. I will form each group, and each group will design a game. The following are game requirements: · It must be about fractions and/or decimals. · Give the game a name. · Design the board and game pieces. · Write the directions. · Things to consider: § How many can play? § How will people move around the game board? Will they use dice, a spinner, or something else? § If the player answers the questions wrong, do they lose a turn? § Is an answer sheet required? For example, if a game piece says “What is the equivalent decimal of ¼ and no one knows the answer?” You should provide answers (or a chart) to your questions. § How is the winner decided?

You may use any material available to you to create your game. This includes the Internet, your textbook, activity books that I have, or your own creative ideas. Keep in mind that your game will be played by another group.
