Are you smarter than a middle schooler? : mathematics edition : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

Similar to Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?, a popular TV game show and board game, Are You Smarter Than A Middle Schooler?: Mathematics Edition is a board game that asks mathematical questions typically found in grades 6, 7, and 8. Each question is correlated to a specific Indiana Academic Standard Indicator for mathematics in the middle grades. Questions cover number sense, computation, algebra and functions, geometry, measurement, data analysis and probability, and problem solving. The goal of the game is to answer 4 questions from each grade level successfully for a chance at a million-dollar question, and thus $1,000,000.
