Hi, I'm Chloe! I taught 3rd–5th grade math for 11 years, and every resource in this shop was built for real classrooms: low prep, high engagement, and a whole lot of sneaky learning.
You found the perfect proportions and population activity! Your 6th and 7th grade students will LOVE practicing or reviewing proportional relationships to make predictions about a population. Students will answer 20 questions in the game. They will be given data from a random sample.
Example Problem: Suppose you randomly survey 50 auto club members and ask them which type of car they prefer to drive. Of those surveyed, 30 said they prefer to drive a convertible. There are 170 members of the auto club. Give a reasonable estimate for the number of auto club members who prefer to drive a convertible.

Tips for Playing this Math Game:
-
Read the directions to the students and model how to play.
-
Be prepared with dice/spinner and game pieces for each player (paperclips, pencil top erasers, pieces from another game, etc.)
-
Every student should solve every problem – not just the person who rolls.
-
Create groups of 2-4 students. The lower number of students means the more focused students are while playing.
-
Remind students that the focus is not playing the game but that’s just an added bonus! The focus should be on practicing math skills.
-
Show students how to compare and discuss answers. Did you both get the same answer? If students get different answers, ask them to solve the problem using a different strategy or help coach each other through the problem.
Do your students need math practice? Students will be playing a game and will often forget that they are even practicing math skills! Research shows that challenge-based gamification in the classroom leads to an increase of 34.755% in student performance (ScienceDirect, 2020).
The best part? Your students will quickly learn the instructions to play the board game and will get right to work on playing (and practicing) their math skills. This resource is easy to use and requires very little prep. It’s also printer friendly so you’ll only use black ink!

My students absolutely loved this resource! I used it as a review for their quiz on drawing inferences from samples and populations. Students compared this game to candy land and did not want to stop playing at the end of class.
