- You need to look at all 7 games, play them a few times each
- You need to also look at the questions listed for each game
- Then, you need to choose 3 games – make sure to select three games that you understand well, AND that where you also understand the questions.
Don’t forget to explain yourself when answering questions by using MATH!
Game #1 - Towers of Hanoi
- Question #2 – This is like making an input/output chart. The number of discs is the independent variable (the input), and the minimum number of moves is the dependent variable (the output).
Game #2 – Circle 0
- This is a challenging game, because we have not yet studied this concept this year. The Grade 7’s should have all learned about integers in Grade 6.
- Anyone can choose to do this game, and if so, it will be considered an extra challenge.
Game #3 – Peg Puzzle
- Question #2 is a challenge, because we have not studied what an algorithm is. However, an algorithm is just a rule. A rule can be shown as an equation, or a math sentence or a set of instructions. So, even though this is a big and challenging word, if you write the instructions, then you have written your algorithm.
Game #4 – Mastermind
- Question #3 – When the question says, “this game works a lot like a proof” – what this means is…This game works because as you play, the game shows you how to solve the problem. A proof is like a method to solve a problem. Your job is to write a rule. Writing a rule is like writing an equation, or a set of instructions, or a math sentence.
Game #5 – The Coin Problem
- I don’t have any tips right now, let me know if you need some!
Game #6 – Stick or Switch
- Make sure you understand what it means to make or find a percentage. This is an important skill for this game and explanation.
Game #7 – Fill and Pour
- I don’t have any tips right now, let me know if you need some!
