Math Game Monday: Bowling

This game builds calculations skills and helps develop fluency.

Many parents remember struggling to learn math. We hope to provide a better experience for our children. And one of the best ways for children to enjoy learning is through hands-on play.

So what are you waiting for? Let’s play some math!

Bowling

Math Concepts: addition, subtraction, multistep calculation, column addition (for final score).

Players: any number.

Equipment: one deck of math cards, game board, ten tokens for covering numbers, pencil or pen, and (optional) scratch paper for adding up the scores.

Set-Up

You can print the bowling game board and score sheet from the Number Game Printables Pack, or draw your own game board and use the printable score sheets from the Apollo’s Templates website.

The 23-page printable (pdf) Number Game Printables Pack file includes hundred charts, graph paper, and game boards from the first two Math You Can Play books.

How to Play

Place the deck face down where all players can reach. When it’s your turn, roll your bowling ball by flipping up three cards. On your game board, cover the pins you knock down:

• The numbers on your cards.
• Any numbers you can make by adding or subtracting two cards.
• Any numbers you can make by adding and subtracting with all three of the cards. Each card may be used only once in each calculation.

For example, if you roll a two, four, and ace, you can cover those numbers and also:

• 3 = 4 − 1
• 7 = 1 + 2 + 4
• What else can you find?

If you cover all the numbers, you rolled a strike, and that’s the end of your turn. If you don’t cover all the numbers, discard those cards and turn up three more for your next ball. Can you cover the remaining numbers now? If so, that’s a spare.

Your score for each turn is how many numbers you cover, with special rules for strikes and spares as explained below.

After you roll two balls, the next player takes a turn. Keep going until each player has ten turns. If the draw pile runs out of cards, reshuffle the discards to replenish it.

How to Use the Score Sheet

The rules for keeping score in bowling seem confusing until you’ve played a few games. Each larger square box on the score sheet is called a frame and represents your score for one turn. The two (or three) smaller square boxes are for keeping track of each time you roll your ball.

One complete game of bowling consists of ten turns, with a maximum score of 300 points. You might think that with ten numbers to cover in each turn, the most you could score would be 100 points, but strikes and spares get bonuses.

For each turn, write down how many numbers you covered with your first ball in the first small box, or if you got a strike, mark an X there. If you threw a second ball, mark down how many more numbers you covered in the second small box, or if you got a spare, write a slash (/). If you did not get a strike or spare, add the numbers you wrote down and put that total score at the bottom of the frame.

A spare earns one bonus ball, and a strike earns two, which means you can’t finish scoring your frame yet. On your next turn, the balls you throw will count not only for their own frame but also as bonus points on your strike or spare. After you’ve thrown your next ball (or two balls, for a strike), add ten for the strike or spare plus the value of the bonus(es) and write in that total at the bottom of the unfinished frame.

Notice that the bonus balls get counted twice, once as part of the strike or spare and once for their own frame. And if you throw three strikes in a row, the third one will be counted three times:

• As the second bonus throw in the first strike frame.
• As the first bonus throw on the second strike.
• And finally as part of its own frame, along with its own bonus balls.

When you get to the last frame, you will see three small boxes. That’s because any players lucky enough to throw a strike or a spare still get their bonus balls. If you don’t get a strike or spare, ignore that third little box.

Finally, add up all the points from all ten frames to make your total score for the game.

Computing: School Era

My first regular Apple usage I can remember well was the IIgs lab at Monroe Elementary in 1st grade, a then brand new space that was part of the new library addition to the building. It was the only Snow White design language Mac I used with any regularity; that’s a style I love. Being in Minnesota in the ’90s the MECC games, including Oregon Trail, were a staple. (I think this was mostly the full color version, although I remember the later Mac version more clearly.)

I switched to Breck for 2nd grade, and they had mostly solidly brown Apple IIes, some set up in the library up on an upper level balcony. I don’t remember having any use of a BASIC environment on these machines. In addition to MECC learning games I have a clear memory of using Writing and Publishing Center to make documents, among them a list of my favorite translations from The Klingon Dictionary. (I was really establishing my brand.)

After 3rd grade, school switched to Macs, upgrading to LCIIs in the lab and adding one to most classrooms. This was also my first exposure to HyperCard (more on that later) as our science curriculum that year involved collecting weather data and inputting it into a custom stack to track trends. Using Macs regularly at school completely changed how I experienced computers, even if sometimes I was just setting the Number Munchers high score on every lab machine (again, on brand) as I waited for my dad (then a substitute and tutor) to finish work at the school. Sadly no pictures of me using a computer at school either.

Sometime in here I got the DOS version of Star Trek: 25th Anniversary but it required at least a 286 which our PC didn’t have. I somehow convinced my grandma to let me install it on the point of sale computer at her shop (an early foray into computer security?) so I could try it, but I never got past the first mission.

In 5th grade we had a gym unit (I guess this is where it fit the schedule?) where we spent a few weeks trying to learn touch typing. It was the traditional home row method, and for testing they actually had some old Apple IIe case lids that they’d place over our hands so we couldn’t see. I never got the hang of it officially but by the end of high school I was doing ten finger hover touch typing around 90 wpm, just from writing a lot of assignments.

By the time 6th grade rolled around, we were expected to hand in more typewritten assignments. The school also got a network and file sharing for the first time (external internet was still limited). I definitely felt a little left behind turning in old dot matrix printouts with three fonts (regular, italic, or bold) as it seemed like everyone else had more modern inkjet with all the formatting they could want! Some of my friends started getting Macs at home as well, with features like CD-ROMs and video and early 3D games and music playback. My FOMO would soon end…

"This short trail starts in the parking lot of the elementary school. There is an #OutdoorClassroom, #VernalPonds, and #swale. Small bridges have been built over wet areas. There are small signs with information about the natural environment. Although there are blue blazes on trees, the trail is not easy to follow as it gets further from the school."
