About This Lesson
A fun iboard game that sets students the challenge of making 'space invaders' to a target total area. Manipulate a second frame to make a simple animated movement and then play your own version of the classic arcade game! Game options: 'Starter' uses only whole units and has areas of even numbers. 'Learner' has half-unit shapes but still asks for an even number area. 'Expert' includes odd number areas, forcing students to use half-unit shapes.Aligned to Common Core State Standard: 4.G.3
This is truly amazing! A game where pupils practise area and symmetry whilst making their own animated 'space invaders'. When they meet the target area, they are rewarded with a game that uses their animations!
