Description
Energize your students’ imagination while creating their own board game! Engagement soars as they create original game questions to test their skills with converting numbers into scientific notation, multiply and divide in scientific notation, and combine numbers with both positive and negative exponents.
This student-led activity allows your pupils to get creative with their project theme as they turn everyday classroom items into an interactive game. As enjoyment increases, so does learning. Prepare to be impressed!
Students will:
- Design a game board, game pieces, and game rules
- Create questions about scientific notation for game play
- Create a solution key
- Play a game peers have created
You will love the easy prep … just provide copies, a file folder, and classroom art supplies like paper and colored markers. This product offers great flexibility. Choose to spend two days doing the entire project or add one part of the project to your daily lesson for a week.
Your students will love the collaborative environment. As students work together, they will enjoy mathematical discussion and find imaginative solutions. Creativity and collaboration lead to greater success. It’s a win-win!
Downloads included with this resource:
- Teacher Instructions
- Printable Student Instructions
- Printable Rubric
- 6 photos of student work (A picture is worth a thousand words.)
Students use creativity to demonstrate mastery with operations involving scientific notation. The Scientific Notation Board Game allows students to create a wholly original game that incorporates evaluating and calculating problems with very large or very small numbers written in scientific notation. Students must write the instructions for the game, create game pieces and determine how those pieces move around the board (spinner, dice, etc.).
I use the Scientific Notation Board Game (SNBG) as an ongoing project during the scientific notation portion of our exponents unit. I like to give math students challenging, creative tasks that provide the opportunity for them to review and revise as they go along.

What other teachers are saying …
“This was an amazing activity for my 8th grade algebra students. The games they produced were spectacular. They were engaged for 3 full days! Playing was even better. After they made them we played as a form of Study Guide before assessment and they could not get enough of it! Am looking forward to using this idea again!” -Brains on STEM
“This was the perfect resource for SN!” - Holli R.
