Applied Math Games (by date, oldest first)

This is a real-life lesson that encourages students to evaluate taxable income based on one's income and the marginal tax bracket. Kids will love this and have a great time discussing the occupations and how much each is taxed. This lesson does not go as far as to discuss personal deductions and standard deductions, which would lower your taxable income. That is for another day. This is a simple introduction to how Federal taxes are collected.

Focuses on taxable Income, understanding taxes, calculating taxes

Easel Activity Included

OBJECTIVE

• The learner will be able to calculate taxable income based on tax brackets based on percentages.
• The learner will understand the purpose of taxation and the difference between state and federal tax.

MATERIALS

• Occupation Game Cards (1 set of 24 per group) and
• Chart (1 per student)
• Game Instructions

PREPARATION

o Set up the classroom desks or tables so that students are sitting in groups of two or three.

INTRODUCTION: (20 minutes)

Ask students:

Available with purchase

GAME INSTRUCTIONS

Divide students into groups of two or three. Each group will receive a set of Occupation Game Cards. It is suggested that you laminate the cards, cut them, and place them in zip-lock bags so they can be used every year.

Students will be directed to place all cards face down. Distribute the Marginal Tax Bracket Chart.

Students within the group will take turns turning over an Occupation Game Card. Each will write the occupation, taxable income, and income tax percent using the Marginal Tax Bracket Chart provided on each student’s activity sheet (see below). Students will work together to calculate the income tax and lifetime total.

Alternative: you may have students compete against those within their team as another way to play, rather than having one group compete against the other groups in the class. Whatever works best for your students and classroom environment is the best route to take.

The goal is to reach a lifetime total of 100,000 taxable incomes to win. This will require multiple games, or to make it more challenging, raise the Lifetime taxable income goal to 150,000 or 200,000, which will make the game run longer.

Students can create charts on notebook paper for additional games.

Once they reach the lifetime goal, they win that round. Then have them play again.

A great end of year, seasonal game that still has educational merit. Suitable for all ages. This game is available in a 5 for 3 bundle. It is a game designed to explore probabilities, and how they change as time goes on. But can also be played just for fun as a way to develop strategic thinking. There are varied numbers of weather cards, and you use your knowledge of their probabilities to prepare yourself with items to go out in that weather. If a rain card is turned over, and you are prepared with an umbrella, well done! You keep your Item. But if a sunny card is turned over, and you have an umbrella, oh no! You lose your item. The winner is the last person to remain in the game at the very end. The game is playable in 2 different ways, independent and dependent probabilities, as defined by removing completely or returning and reshuffling the weather cards as you play. Both give great play experiences. We have already played this game with tutees, and they say it's our best game so far! Purchase it to find out why. It comes with easy-cut guides, full cheat sheets and probability tracking pages for players to keep track as cards are played and revealed. Makes for great fun, and powerful learning.

These KaBoom cards are a fun way to practice finding the Highest Common Factor (or Greatest Common Factor) and the Lowest Common Multiple (Least Common Multiple) of two or three numbers, with differentiation built in.

Players choose whether they want to choose an easier question (red), but will receive less points for their correct answer, or risk a more challenging question (green) and gain greater rewards. Both a UK version and a US version is included to take into account the specific wording used in each curriculum.

The red cards consist of questions involving simpler HCF and LCM questions that can be worked out by listing the factors and multiples of the given numbers.

The Yellow Cards of questions which require finding prime factors first.

The Green Card consists of more challenging questions involving 3 numbers, or factors of 7 and 13.

Begin by laying all the cards out face down (so you see only the number of points they are worth). Players take turns to select a card, either red, yellow or green. The difficulty of the question will increase. They may also pick up either steal, giving them a chance to steal from any other player, shield, which protects them from the next KaBoom, and KaBoom cards which means you lose all your collected points so far.

Play as a whole class in teams, or print multiple copies as play around the table. If students get the answer incorrect, or they need some help, use your judgement as to whether you will allow them another guess or not. Questions answered incorrectly go in the ‘house’ pile, along with any cards lost in a KaBoom. At the end of the game, add up the ‘house’ pile. The winner is the player or team with the highest points (including any shield cards that have been unused). The house can win.

Included are two copies of the game; one designed for a double sided printer and one designed for single sided printing where you need to turn over the pages yourself to print double sided.

Full instructions are included as are answers.

This game is available in a 5 for 3 bundle. It is a card game that helps to reinforce a knowledge of The Order of Operations.
