Homework Mission
Your mission is to design and make a mathematical board game for children aged 9-10. You can choose to work with a maths buddy if you like. Your game should include a
football or World Cup theme and a set of instructions.
You might want to think about how your players could move forward or back on your game. For example, ‘Well done, that was an excellent tackle, move forward three spaces!’
Ask your self these questions when you are planning your game:
How am I going to include maths in my game?
How will the players move around the board?
Do the players need to use all four maths operations to play?
Should there be extra tasks to complete, such as
activities on cards?
Do I need to make counters?
How am I going to keep all the items needed for the game together?
Do I need to make a dice using the net of a cube?
Are my instructions correctly spelt and clear?
When the games are completed you will bring them into school and will be given the opportunity to play together.
You have two weeks to
complete your mission,
have fun and good luck!
