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!

Question: math game problemo?

Ok, so my middle school math class has to create a game for the school math night. My partner and I are having trouble creating one.... Any idea's for the game and prizes for it????

THANK YOU!!!!!

Answer: Do you have to invent your own, or simply find one to use? If you simply need to find one, I highly recommend "Math 24" and "Set". If you need something less widely available, how about checking your local library or book store for books on games and puzzles? You could also do a web search for "Math Games" and borrow whatever strikes your fancy. The game of Nim is an old standard, and there are several variations that are likely to keep any math-major parents from winning every game from 7pm to closing.
