Integrated 2: Project Unit 5 – Board Game

Goal:

·        Make a board game for four or more players

 

Groups:

·        Will have a maximum of three members.

 

Product: Board Game

·        Your board game does not need to be about math specifically, it just needs to incorporate
 math related topics

·        Quality and content are both important parts of the finished product

·        Include a separate copy of the directions with the board game from your packet

·        Your design should include

o       A game board that somehow incorporates a coordinate grid

o       Enough game pieces for at least four players

o       Dice, cards, or both for determining the moves and the order of play

o       Clear, complete written instructions for playing the game

·        In the board or the rules, you must include at least three of the following:

o       Properties of quadrilaterals

o       Distance Formula

o       Midpoint Formula

o       Slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines

o       Types of Transformations

o       Coordinate Geometry

 

Booklet:

·        Part 1: Title Page  (one page)

o       Name and logo for board game, names of group members, period, class, date due.

 

·        Part 2: Description of Game and Instructions (at least one page)

o       Include why you chose the design, what are some of the features, both positive and negative.

o       What are some good, appealing aspects of your game?  What are some unique features?

o       Should be word-processed, and well written.  Think of as a description on the back of the box.

 

·        Part 3: Your Individual Work  (??????)

o       Read directions carefully (see other side)

o       Many of these are intended to give you ideas.  Not doing them will make the design phase difficult.

o       Answers should be hand written but should also be very neat and easy to read.

o       Each person should have their own set of answers, but you may collaborate on the answers.

 

·        Part 4: Summary  (one page)

o       This is not a summary of the product, it is a summary of your experience

o       How well did you accomplish your tasks? Think about how your group worked together .

o       Were there any problems while making the game?  If so, how did you solve them?

o       Were the individual problems helpful?  How?

o       Any other individual or group opinions about the project.

o       Should be word-processed, and well written.
