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 quarter 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.

  much fun?
   Choose a setting for your game board.  Is 
   the game in a cave, in a castle, or in a 
   person’s digestive tract?  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?
   Planning
   Planning
   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.  
   Multiply 15.7 x 0.0003 correctly or move 
   back 3 spaces.”

     ◦Adding Decimals
     ◦Subtracting Decimals
     ◦Multiplying Decimals
     ◦Dividing decimals
     ◦Place value with decimals
     ◦Rounding and estimation with decimals
     ◦Comparing and ordering decimals
     ◦You may include other math skills as well
   Create the board that is:
     ◦At least 20in x 20in
     ◦Use illustrations and color
     ◦Put a cardboard backing on the game board.
