Kleberg-opoly

Your final project will be to construct a virtual or physical Monopoly game board. You can pick any theme and here are some ideas. This is a part of the financial literacy unit, so there will be elements of math and values included.
5.10A Personal financial literacy. The student applies mathematical process standards to manage one's financial resources effectively for lifetime financial security. 

Pick a theme-In Monopoly, a playing piece moves around a game board based on a theme and value. It starts with Baltic Place, the least expensive property and goes up to Boardwalk, the most expensive property. Get a piece of paper and decide on your theme. Name the places.
  • Victor and Brandon love POKEMON, and there are lots of Pokemon to choose from. Start by picking the pokemon with the least value and make a list going up in value. The same can be done for any other theme. Mrs. Branch loves The Big Bang Theory. My list of properties would be places from the show, like Sheldon's Spot and Comic Book Store.  Make a list of exactly 23 places/things for your board game. Natalie loves Mexico. Hers can be Mexican Monopoly. She can list 23 places in Mexico (Chihuahua, Mexico, Puerto Vallarte, Cancun, Tegucigalpa, Oaxaca). Lesty is a brand new big sister. Hers can be Baby Monopoly. She can name all kinds of fun things about babies (Walking, Sitting Up, Spitting Up, Changing Diaper, Feeding). Lamaria loves making money. She can list some different forms of money (Dollar, Coin, Penny, Rai, Peso). Cortlyn loves cool hairstyles. He can name some hairstyles such as Dreadlocks, Sister Locks, Corn Rows, Flip, Bob). Devin loves rappers. He can list rappers such as Devin the Dude, Kurtis Blow, MC Lyte, Eminem, Biggie, Tupac, Vanilla Ice, Beastie Boys)
2. Now add a value to each space

  • Start with the space of least value and go up. Write down the price next to each of the 22 places.

3. Match the playing spaces and images to your theme
  • What picture matches your theme? Write them down and find them or draw them (Ask Angel, ,Angela Arianna W. or Roxanna for help!)
Write down all of your ideas and turn it in for today's grade. 

3. TO BE CONTINUED ON MONDAY. HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND!
