Golden GamesFor this project, students will work with a partner and

create a math game. Students will use their knowledge in experimental and hypothetical

probability to create a fair, exciting and unique game. Students will play the games to test them out!

Students will first design their game get it Miss Wagner approved. Next students will have to create

their game and build the required pieces. Some games require a game board others will require a score sheet.

Students will create their game pieces in class with their partner. Next students will write out their good

copy of the game instructions and complete an analytical analysis of the probability. Finally students will test out the games by playing them. This project

will be due before Christmas Holidays.
