MATHS RESOURCE! Vector Translation Game!

1/5/2015

So I am planning to teach transformations which I haven't had to look at for the past 6 years! Argh! Totally keeping my cool and everything (not!) And I couldn't think of an interesting way to look at the core skills needed when looking at translations and understanding how to interpret a vector. 

I decided a game was necessary (because everything can be solved with a game ha!) So, I've come up with this game!

I've called it Vector Stars! Basically it's a two player game, and players have to move around the game board collecting points by inputting their vector translations and collecting the appropriate stars. Each different coloured star has a different amount of points allocated to it, and students can gain bonus points by collecting three stars of the same colour (tried to get some strategy in there, or should I say problem solving?).

Any way I hope you find it useful, I'll be using it at the end of this week :-)
Let me know if you use it and have any ideas for a sequel/extension or any tweaks once it's been tested. I may update it after it's been used at the end of the week.

Hope your enjoying the maths resources! I'm having tonnes of fun creating them :-)
