With my grade 7 math class I found myself at the end of the unit, and trying to figure out how can i consolidate all of the students learnings, in a fun way which will make students think, and task them with creating a product to in order to solve a problem. The problem posed is "How can we make a great review before our unit 1 & 2 Test." The answer to this ended up being the creation of a board game. To start off the project all students are told is that they will need 25 questions a minimum of 10 from each unit appropriate to grade level, and that they need to be creative. After this they are left to solve answer this question, and make a good review. At the end of this project not one assignment was the same, and barely any of the questions were replicated between projects, and students were able to not only create a tool for themselves, but discover what goes behind reviewing for a test, and how to create review tools. By learning how to review, and creating a product with the purpose of being a review tool students learn how to review for a test. It isn't so much the final product which represents this process, but it is the process by which the final product is made. Going through and picking out, and creating questions that will be good for review, and organizing them as such that having that knowledge results in success in the form of a board game allows students to review without without even needing to play everyones board games, for they have reviewed in creating one. ![]()
