When we got to know the groups we thought it would be a great group. Malene was not in Denmark when all the lithuanians were in Denmark. So she has not met any of the lithuanians. Unfortunately Tomas chose to leave the group.

We started off by talking in the group about how the game should be. In the start we did not really have any good ideas but Edvinas and Gabrieliu came up with a couple of ideas, we thought it was some good ideas. They posted the game on the blog. We didn't speak much about the questions, so we just made a couple.

We made the game for ourselves and went to the 7th graders it out. The game was really easy to understand. Some of the questions was a bit hard for the students to answer, and some of them were not too easy and not too hard to understand, perfect. We think that we needed a bit more questions, because some of the questions got repeated to the same students. Edvinas and Gabrieliu was good at coming up with ideas.

The game was easy to make and did not take too much time to make. But it would take a bit longer time if we made more questions.

Reflections on the game. By Gabrielius J. And Edvinas J.

                 At first we (Gabrielius and Edvinas) started thinking about our game idea, we didn‘t have  a lot of ideas only some, like a puzzle, mind game, but the best was table game.  We went to our math teacher and told to her about the table game, she said that it‘s pretty good, so we started making it.

                 But then, when we  made it, and the game testing day came, we couldn‘t test it and its very sad, because we made a pretty good and interesting game I think, there are a lot of questions in our game and interesting game rules. The reason why we couldn‘t test it was Edvinas illness.

                 But don‘t be sad everything will be okay, in our school it‘s going to be a math day, and I‘m sure we will test the game, and post to the blog how it was, I think it will be great game. And everyone who will play it, will have a lot of fun.

Reflections on the game

Our group consisted of Evelina, Linas, Jonathan and Konstantin.

In the beginning we made a group on Facebook and exchanged ideas. Finally Danish students agreed with our game and we started to make it. A few days later it was finished. The game is a board game. There are four pieces with a number on them, those has to place somewhere on the main board, by using Pythagoras Theorem.

 On the 13th February, we had to introduce the game for the 8th grade students. There were some problems, because students were too shy. At first it was difficult for them to solve the task, but we helped them and explained how to play the game in Lithuanian. While they were playing, we realised what to change in our game that it would be better. The students were interested in our game. At the end they were proud of themselves.

Our group consisted of Emilija, Aistė, Maria W., and Mia-maja.

In the begining we were confused about the game as we didin‘t know what to start with. We made a group on Facebook, and desribe the game in detail, with examples from the Internet. Danish students agreed with our game and a few days later the game was finished. This game perfectly fit for the 8th grade students and it checked their knowledge about Pgytagorus theorem. It is a table game about Phytagorus theorem, were students had to solve mathematical tasks and questions. On the 13th February, we had to show the game for the 8th grade students. Three groups the task played this game.

At first the task was a little difficult for 8 grade students to solve, but we helped them round. As we were speaking only English, the students couldn‘t understand at first. While the students were playing the game and doing the tasks, we realised what the game could se a better. We found what was wrong with it. Nearly everyone liked the game. Few girls were playing the game until the end of the lesson. We think that they enjoyed the lesson and probably they wanted to repeat it.

To sum, no matter that – in the begining the game wasn‘t as successful as we had expected, in the end, we made it very well. We are ready to show it again.

Evaluation of our game

Our group consisted of Simona, Miglė, Tomas, Lukas, Julie and Nicole. It hasn't really changed since last year. Sadly, Miklas and Edvinas had to leave.

 To significantly improve communication we created a chat group on Facebook. We exchanged ideas and finally settled on one which we thought was the best. The Danish group agreed too. The game which we had decided upon was a board game. When your figure lands on a certain spot, you have to pull out a card (there were two types of cards: a question and an equation) or solve an equation if your spot says you to do so. When it came to the logbook, the Danish students offered to make a video of how we communicated. We thought it was a brilliant idea and agreed to it. However, we were responsible for making the video about the game. The video didn't take long to make and we're happy with how it turned out.

When it came to communicating with each other, we used mostly Facebook and Skype. There weren't any problems apart from having different timetables.

On the 13 of February, we introduced the game to the 8th grade students. When we came into the classroom where the event was held, the first thing we saw was the 8th grade students studying for our games. It came as a bit of a surprise and none of us thought they would be preparing for our game. Nearly all 8th grade students groups played our game. When it came to explaining the game, there were virtually no problems -  everyone understood the game. At the end of the game we discovered a flaw with it. When a group of 4 students came and played the game we ran out of equation cards so we had to give the same ones to them. When a group of 3 students came we realised that the game is designed for only 4 players. Everyone gave positive feedback and I think they enjoyed as much as we did. The game was a real success despite the lack of questions.

Here are some pictures of how the board game looks:

     At first we started making a game from mine and Mantas idea we had a few "Skype" conferences , but it was hard to explain it to Sara, Julie and Winnie, so we have decided on the new idea which was offered by Sara, Julie and Winnie.  The game was called  „QR treasure hunt“.  
                To play "QR treasure hunt" you have to use a program on your mobile phone called "QR code scanner". We have to praise Danish group students for this great idea. In our opinion it is one of the best ideas of all we had. 
                 Making this game was easy, it took some time, we talked a lot via „Skype“. When the time came to test it with 8th graders, they were very interested in the game and a lot of them wanted to try it. Our teachers also liked the idea of our game. They thought that this game idea is the most advanced in technologies. The game for 8th graders was fun and entertaining. They understood everything and had fun.

Games testing day

In the beginng, it was quite difficult, because 8th graders were too shy. But shortly afterwards, they became braver. Every game was different. Some used their phones, others played board games. Everyone was busy carrying out the tasks. It was fun and interesting. Students were happy because they used their mathematical knowledge in the games. Also, we, 10 graders, were proud of making useful and fun games for younger students.

Here are some photos and a video:

Reflections on the game.

It was a bad start for the project's second part, because we did all the thing without consulting with danish student. So basically we made everything very easy for them. Nathan and Christian only had to copy the game.

It was a bad start for the project's second part, because we did all the things without consulting  the Danish students. So, basically, we made everything very easy for them. Nathan and Christian only had to copy the game.

We played the game with 8th graders. The game was quite easy. There were no difficulties explaining or solving it. At  first,  8th graders thought that the game was going to be boring, but afterwards they got involved into it and  they couldn't stop. Most of the students enjoyed playing. They said that the game was involving and  challenging. We did a little trick to make the game more interesting. We made stickers with stars for those who would  finish the game first. In a way,  it was a small competition for them which was really exciting for everyone.

Reflections on the game. By Brigita and Klaudija

Hello, I (Klaudija) and Brigita with students form Denmark Maria and Mathias decided to make a game. Using Pythagor theorem we created a triangle. We shared ideas how to make the game more interesting. We had a good time comunicating.
I made a game with Brigita, both of us think, that the game turned out to be quite interesting and fun to play. Class eight students from our school tried playing our game. While playing this game, they showed a nice learning progress. At the end of the day they understood the game completely, managed to find a missing line in a triangle. Class eight students were very interested in our game. And now all of them learned how to solve Pythagoras equations.
All in all we think that this game could be improved by adding more tasks with Pythagoras theorem.
