When having students learn cribbage I made this research sheet. They had to finish the investigation to be allowed to play in our class cribbage tournament.

Included are criteria sheets, examples, an explanation of the concept and the master copy of sheet used to record graphs. It is a fun way ot have students demonstrate their knowledge and the buy in from students is automatic.
