Artifact 5

 

Area Game

For this game, each player has a grid of their own and take turns rolling a set of dice. The player then picks one of the results and then selects a shape with the corresponding number. The object of the game is to fill up your grid with no spaces/as little spaces as possible before the other player. Annessa Casier’s group used this as one of their activities for a learning activity presentation.


The game relates to the Measurement strand of the curriculum, as it requires a rudimentary understanding of area and perimeter. This is a simple game that can be played as part of a lesson and then re-used on other days during indoor recess or for students that finish their work early. Because the game does not require extensive prior knowledge, this could be a good minds-on activity done during any point of the Measurement unit.
