Using the original game concept PacMath will add fourth grade level math to the fun and exciting game of PacMan in order to make learning fun. The game will provide the student with different problems and in order to solve the problem correctly the student will have to eat the ghost with the correct answer.<br /> ===Sketch Up===<br /> http://people.rit.edu/~tjp3947/olpc/PacMath.jpg<br /> <br /> [[Image:Start-screen.jpg|none|none|alt=startscreen]]<br /> <br /> [[Image:Eat-screen.jpg|none|none|alt=eatscreen]]<br /> <br /> ==Objective==<br /> The objective of this project is to incorporate the teachings of fourth grade mathematics to students through PacMath, a fun, interactive, mathematical game based on the 1980's PacMan. One of our main objectives is making PacMath flexible where the teacher will be allowed to create its own group of questions and not be forced to use only a set group of questions. This would allow more flexibility in the learning plan for the teacher.<br /> <br /> ==Education==<br /> <br /> Current Standards to be addressed with in this project: &lt;br&gt;<br /> (As per standards of the Massachusetts Department of Education)<br /> <br /> *4.N.2 - Represent, order, and compare large numbers (to at least 100,000) using various forms, including expanded notation, e.g., 853 = 8 x 100 + 5 x 10 + 3. <br /> *4.N.8 - Select, use, and explain various meanings and models of multiplication and division of whole numbers. Understand and use the inverse relationship between the two operations.<br /> *4.N.9 - Select, use, and explain the commutative, associative, and identity properties of operations on whole numbers in problem situations, e.g., 37 x 46 = 46 x 37, (5 x 7) x 2 = 5 x (7 x 2). <br /> *4.N.11 - Know multiplication facts through 12 x 12 and related division facts.

I am currently enrolled in the 3rd iteration of the One Laptop per Child class offered at RIT. My original idea located here: [[User:Taylor2412/GameIdea|My Math4 Game Idea]], I have set aside due to another teammate, but I'm happy with the fact that I have joined the [[PacMath#How_It_Works|PacMath]] team.

<p>Taylor2412: </p> <hr /> <div>==UPDATE==<br /> &lt;!-- http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/PacMath#How_It_Works --&gt;<br /> Due to class (RIT OLPC Seminar) specification I needed a teammate to continue on with this idea and was unable to get one because, understandably, many people wanted to contribute to previously existing ideas. Therefore as of now I am working on the [[PacMath#How_It_Works|PacMath]] project which I think is a cool idea and really hope we are able to get at least our basic idea done. As for my idea I'd like to complete it at some point and I am hoping that my experience to come with PacMath will improve my very minimal knowledge of Python.<br /> <br /> ==My Game Idea==<br /> <br /> My Math4 related program is actually a game based on a snow ball fight. I have NOT set in stone whether it will be something where you have complete freedom of movement or whether you can only move from one spot to another. The way the second option (moving from one spot to another) would work is you have the choice of going Back, Forward, Left, or Right (the arrow keys, possible WASD) and once you select one you are shown running to another spot where you can hide behind something and have cover from others (PC) trying to hit you with a snow ball. The Math that will be involved is the Pythagorean Theorem (Geometry) to determine how far you are from an NPC you may be trying to hit with a snow ball (would be an overhead view); you need to know this because you can only throw a certain distance which is also not set in stone. Additionally the player will need to understand percentages, decimals and factions and an example of this is they may be given a stat: &quot;You have a 50% chance of hitting that player from here.&quot; Then they may be given the chance to convert that to a fraction (50% = 0.5 = 1/2) and if they are correct then their chances of hitting the NPC go up, but they need to make sure they are close enough (Pythagorean Theorem) or they will not throw it far enough. Once they decide to throw there will be a side view showing yourself and the NPC and you will select the percentage of your total power and the angel at which you would like to throw. There's a lot of room for more math related concepts and possible different modes within this game, but that is my basic idea.<br /> <br /> ==Screen Shots==<br /> <br /> Soon to come</div>

The activity uses elements of platform games with obstacles and puzzle solving to teach addition and multiplication of fractions while keeping the player entertained. <br /> <br /> == [[MPG|M.P.G.]] ==<br /> M.P.G. is an RIT Math4Team game. This is a Dungeons and Dragons adventure style game where players will have to solve various math puzzles to defeat enemies and proceed through the dungeons.<br /> <br /> ==[[Math4Team/RIT/Projects/Math_Maze|Math Maze]]==<br /> [[User:kdh7733|Kevin Hockey]] and [[User:TS1593|Tom Sekovski]] are making maze style game (built upon the pre-existing game [[http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Maze Maze]]) where at each decision moment the player has to answer a question. Some questions include: adding/subtracting numbers, factoring, word and fraction problems<br /> <br /> ==[[School Server/RIT|schoolserver.rit.edu]]==<br /> The XO school Server, or XS, is one of the products of the OLPC project, designed to complement the XO laptop. It is a Linux-based OS (a Fedora-based distribution) engineered to be installed on generic low-end servers. <br /> When we deploy one laptop per child, we must also provide additional infrastructure extending the capabilities of the laptops. While the laptops are self-sufficient for many learning activities, other activities and services depend on the School Server providing connectivity, shared resources and services. Services, tools and activities running on the School Server allow asynchronous interaction, can use larger storage capacity, and take advantage of the processing power of the XS.<br /> <br /> ==[[Teacher's Tools]]==<br /> [[User:acj3840|Alex Jones]] is planning on creating a tool for teachers to help evaluate how well their students have learned certain material. It will be similar to Assimilate but help the teachers learn the weak points of their students' knowledge.<br /> <br /> ==[[Flash Card Game - Assimilate]]==<br /> This project is one of [[Math4Team/RIT/Projects | many small projects]] focused on developing 4th grade math games which will run on the OLPC XO. We are [[Math4Team/RIT/Alumni/Spring-2009| RIT students]] who are working on this with the help of other developers who become interested in our projects.<br /> The focus of this project is to turn an existing game ([[olpc:Assimilate|Assimilate]]) into a math based flash card game which will hopefully be included on future XO's.<br /> <br /> Group members:<br /> [[User:Dbj4366|Dennis Jalbert]], [[User:Jck1089|James Kolb]], [[User:bjr9081|Brendan Reen]]<br /> <br /> ==[[Math4Team/RIT/Projects/Fun Towers|Fun Towers]]==<br /> Fun Towers is a pre-existing game that can be found online in several version (http://www.funnytowers.com/ is one example) that has been ported to the XO, written in Squeak. Our team is modifying this purely numerical/card based game into one that can be used as a teaching tool as part of the 4th grade math project.<br /> Our initial goals in modifying the pre-existing game remain relatively simple and achievable, and our goal is to produce verifiable results that can be used to point to the very preliminary success of the math4 program, while more in-depth projects are still in development.<br /> The game itself is simple, users are given a card and with it are able to remove from one of 3 pyramids of cards a card that is one greater or one lower in value. This card that has been removed is the users new card, and any cards that were covered by the removed card are now in play.<br /> <br /> Group members are <br /> [[User:EricMallon|Eric Mallon,]] [[User:eldrac|Tyler Bragdon,]] [[User:Cdaniels29|Chris Daniels]]<br /> <br /> ==[[Image:Lemon_Icon.svg|24px]][[Lemonade Stand]]==<br /> Lemonade stand (or more likely, *Insert produce here* stand) is a collaboration project at RIT. It is designed to test children on fractions, working with money, estimation, and other math topics. While our time restraints limit the extent to which we can implement features, the current goal is a feature complete program even if lacking in graphics. We plan on having a system based on buying and selling commodities and an eventual season based economy. <br /> <br /> The largest and most complex task of the project will be the introduction of a basic AI to handle the economy, the use of graphics, and localization. We are planning on introducing the game with a generic currency model while trying to find a commodity that either works worldwide, or is easy to replace for regional types. At the very least, we plan on having a feature complete text model that can be finished by other interested parties.<br /> <br /> The RIT students currently working on the project are [[User:Epsilon748|Anthony King]], [[User:Qalthos|Nathaniel Case]], [[User:Jsang1|Jonathan Sanger]], [[User:Mdd8919 | Mitchell DeMarco]], [[User:sss1406|Steven Schoenfeld]], and [[User:Echo35|Anthony Lubriani]].<br /> <br /> ==[[Math4Team/RIT/Projects/Muthris|Muthris]]==<br /> Muthris is a math themed, Tetris-based game inspired by Cuyo. Players control falling blocks which must be grouped in certain math related ways in-order to clear that grouping from the board. The level is lost when the board fills up with blocks. Players learn math skills by fun repetition of simple mathematical problems and the grouping of sets of numbers. Levels are abstracted away from the core game. This allows one to simple drop in new levels and learn different mathematical concepts.<br /> <br /> Group Members: [[User:dpk3062|Doug]]<br /> <br /> ==[[Produce Puzzle]]==<br /> The object of the game is to solve a system of equations with unknowns represented by fruits. The player is given the column sums and row sums, and from there he must determine the value of each fruit. The game difficulty can be changed, and it ranges from solving 3x3 fruit equations, all the way up to 9x9 fruit grids.<br /> <br /> We, [[User:Classclownfish | Abbi Honeycutt]] and [[User:Nikeunltd| Kennedy Kong]] from Rochester Institute of Technology, has taken over this project. Previous creators were Matthew Michihara, Elizabeth Deng, and Aaron Macris from University of Southern California during their &quot;Code for a cause OLPC Hack-a-thon&quot;.<br /> ==[[/Question Support API|Question Support API]]==<br /> The purpose of the Question Support API is to provide a unified method for Activities to access standardized format question files. The API currently supports the use of multiple choice questions with a single correct answer and no partial credit. Currently, the API only reports questions in a plain text format from Moodle format question files.<br /> <br /> Group members are <br /> [[User:Enimihil|Greg Stevens]], [[User:Jfinney|Jameson Finney]], [[User:Bbl5660|Brian Long]]<br /> <br /> ==[[Teacher Reporting]]==<br /> Our goal is to allow results and / or grades, from student activities to be readily available to teachers. <br /> - Based on their wants and needs,teachers can then generate custom reports on a class or Individual. Teachers Have the ability to determine what types of problems students are finding most difficult. <br /> - Additionally we envision logic in the module which analyses student activity and checks for a yes || no interpretation of each student's understanding of Curriculum Standards.<br /> <br /> == [[PacMath|PacMath]] ==<br /> Through the classic arcade style game known as PacMan we will incorporate fourth grade level math.<br /> <br /> ==[[Math4Team/RIT/Tips &amp; Tricks|Tips &amp; Tricks]]==<br /> ==[[Math4Team/RIT/Complaints &amp; Problems|Complaints &amp; Problems]]==<br /> <br /> [[Category:Idea]]</div>

I have set in stone whether it will be something where you have complete freedom of movement or whether you can only move from one spot to another. The way the later would work is you have the choice of going Back, Forward, Left, or Right (the arrow keys, possible WASD) and once you select on you are shown running to another spot where you can hide behind something and have cover from others (PC) trying to hit you with a snow ball. The Math that will be involved is the Pathagorean Thereom (Geometry) to determine how far you are from an NPC you may be trying to hit with a snow ball (would be an overhead view); you need to know this because you can only throw a certain distance which is also not set in stone. Additionally the player will need to understand percentages, decimals and factions and an example of this is they may be given a stat: &quot;You have a 50% chance of hitting that player from here.&quot; Then they may be given the chance to convert that to a fraction (50% = 0.5 = 1/2) and if they are correct then their chances of hitting the NPC go up, but they need to make sure they are close enough (Pathagorean Theorem) or they will not throw it far enough. Once they decide to throw there will be a side view show yourself and the NPC and you will select the percentage of your total power and the angel at which you would like to throw. There's a lot of room for more math related concepts and possible different modes within this game, but that is may basic idea.</div>
