MATH BOARD GAME PROJECT
DUE DATE is June 12
Math Board Game
Objective: To create a board game where players must solve math problems/concepts
learned through the year to win.
1) You are board game designers. Your game can have any theme you choose and you decide how your game is won. You are creating your game board for at least 4 players for your peer classmates to play. It has to be fun to play, and it has to be easy to follow the rules. The game should be decorated in the theme you choose.
2) Choose 2-3 concepts we have studied in Math this year for your game board and questions:
a. Addition/Subtraction
b. Multiplication (can include up to 3 digit by 3 digit problems)
c. Division (can include up to 3 digit by 1 digit problems)
d. Place Value
e. Fractions
f. Shapes (2-D)/(3-D)
3) You must create 20 question cards related to the math concept(s) you are using in your board game.
4) You must provide clear, written directions so players will know how to play your game.
5) You will need to produce a key to go with your game so the players will be able to check their answers and know if they are correct.
6) You will be graded using the rubric you create on your own.
You must include this on the back of your game board!

Question Cards:
- Write out your questions before you begin designing your board.
- When you have written them all out, edit and then write on index cards.
- Find the answers to your questions as you go.
- Make your game interesting by having different spaces mean different things.
- You may want to create your own checklist to assist you along the way of designing your board game
A sample rubric is attached to your paper copy.
