Real Life Math Application: Skee-Ball Math Task Handout
Share

Description

This student facing handout prompts students through a real life math application problem; how many multiple ways can you win a game of Skee-Ball when the goal is to get 450 points? The problem at hand is scaffolded for students to ensure they fully understand it, by first asking "do now" questions about student familiarity with skee-ball and arcade games. Then, a video is shown to students and they are asked to fill out an "I Notice, I Wonder" chart to further explore this concept. Students are then provided written context as well and asked to work to find as many different ways to add up to the 450 point value needed. Students can work independently or with a partner/group. Finally, students are asked to reflect on what made the task at hand challenging. This resource is uploaded via Google Classroom to be added to your Drive and be completely editable. This resource can be used remotely or in the in-person setting; the Google Document can be added to a Google Classroom or similar platform, or simply printed out for students, providing the links through another mode of your choosing. If given to students virtually, students can simply type their answers in the boxes provided. This can also be done prior to a school field trip to an arcade/gaming lounge. This handout based on Robert Kaplinksy lesson which can be located here; https://robertkaplinsky.com/work/skeeball/, however significantly modified to be appropriate for lower grade level and diverse learners.
