Instead of assessing the students with an unit test I decided to do a unit project.

Another 7th grade teacher created a carnival game project where students create a game that involves chance rather than skill. We provided a rubric which required a scale model game that could be played , directions to play the game, theoretical probability, experimental probability and expected payout.

Students worked in pairs and created a game for our carnival during class. The project took about 3 days and we held the carnival on the 4th day. My students took turns running their games and playing other students' games.

The other 7th grade math teachers sent groups of 5 students over to test our games. I gave each student a stamp card which was their "payment" to play the games usually one stamp. This was helpful for visiting students because they went back to class when their stamps were used. Two pairs of students did maze games where the dice decided your path. This group used string instead of marbles Our last day of school was suppose to be Thursday but we have to make up emergency days from the cold winter.

This was a great way to start our countdown to summer! I love that students had fun playing games but math was involved in each game! Unknown June 10, at AM. Unknown August 16, at PM.
