Question: I need ideas for my project. I have to make a math board game.What can i do?

Have to be 7th grade math skills.Can not be store bought.

Answer: Make a game with a path of squares. Squares can be plainly colored with like every third or fourth one saying something like, "go back two spaces," "move forward one space," "lose a turn," etc...
Make cards to draw out of index cards or construction paper. On each card, write a problem that has to be solved, or a word where the player has to give the definition. You will probably want to put the answer on there, so someone beside the player whose turn it is should draw and read the card.
So - roll a die, advance on squares, draw a card, answer it, you can't advance from that spot until you answer a card correctly - first one to the end wins.
You could even make the game on a large piece of butcher paper, or on a piece of poster paper.
Good luck!
