Algebra Adventure:
The Substitution Board Game
📋 Project Task
Students are
required to design a board game that helps revise the concept of substituting
values in algebraic expressions. This game should be creative, colorful,
and based on a theme of your choice (e.g., jungle, space, treasure hunt).
🛠️ Game Design Guidelines
1.
Design
a simple board game (similar to Snakes & Ladders or Ludo) with at
least 30 spaces.
2.
Each
space should contain a simple algebraic expression such as:
o 2x + 1
o x² - 1
o 3x
o x + 4
o 5x - 3, etc.
3.
The
game should be neatly drawn on A4 or A3 sheet or cardboard.
4.
Add
counters (buttons, coins, beads) and use a regular six-sided die.
🧩 Game Rules
State the rules
clearly . Some examples are given below
- Minimum 2 players. Each player starts at space
1.
- On their turn, each player rolls
the die and moves forward that number of spaces.
- The value on the die is
substituted into the expression on the space they land on.
- The result becomes the number
of steps they move forward in the next turn.
- If the result is 0 or
negative, the player must either:
- Lose a turn, or
- Move backward that many steps (clearly state
which rule your game follows).
- The first player to reach the
last space wins the game.
🌟 Bonus Points for Creativity
- Use of an engaging theme (e.g.,
jungle quest, underwater world, space mission, etc.)
- Neat and colorful board design
- Inventive and diverse algebraic
expressions
📌 What You Need to Submit
1.
A
photograph of the completed board game.
2.
A
brief explanation (5–6 lines) describing:
o How the game works
o Any special rules or twists you’ve
added
3.
A
list of at least 5 expressions used and a short demonstration of
substitution for each.
