Presentation Outline for Game Project

This is what you should cover in your game project presentation on Monday and Tuesday.

Game Project Update

Hello

Well yesterday was a major deadline for the board game project. Since it was a snow day many students took advantage of the extra time to make sure their board and pieces were complete. Today I saw many students' work and I am very impressed with how some of the students have really taken this project and ran with it. Many students are going above the basic requirements with their board games.

Today I gave the students an outline for how to judge and write 1-2 paragraphs about how they have incorporated the Math concepts from this unit into their games. They are to use the score sheet provided to evaluate their use and explanation of the coordinate grid, plotting points, and all three transformations. The students are to use their mathematical vocabulary from our word wall in their paragraphs.

This part of the project will be due Monday and should be done in rough draft then good copy. Students were given time today in class to start it (some chose to work on their rule books) and they will have more time this week to work on the planning and rough copy.
The students should have their rulebooks 90% done for tomorrow and their game boxes done for Friday. Presentations will take place next week on Monday and Tuesday in class.

Many thanks
Mr. Brooks
