Math Carnaval

In math lesson, we plan to made a math carnaval its according to our subject which is probability. We were divided into 8 groups with different games. there are games that are played using balloons, color balls, aquarium that are filled with water and there are several cups into the aquarium, games with boxes and musics, etc. In this Math Carnaval, grade 9 students invited Grade 7 and 8 to participate in our games but teachers also are invited.

My group are with Aminy and Ruth. We planned to make a game that is played with balloons and dart and we named it Color Shots. In this game the player gets 2 chances to shot any of the 3 balloons. Inside the balloons there is a black carton paper which have a color paper in it so, the prizes are according to the color papers that the players get.

Before the Math Carnaval is started we arrange our tables in each stations. In my group the the tables are needed for putting the prizes, darts and money we earned. We also use styrofoam to stick the balloons on it so its easier for the players to shoot and it is also easier for us to change the balloons afterwards.

When it is the time for the Math Carnaval all students came out from their class and they started to tried each of the games. Many of the Students played on Tracey's group because their game prizes are ice - cream and their game is quiet intersting. Because of that Aminy and i started to shout for the others to come. Aminy shouted are like "hey, come here we have an interesting game and it is also cheap" and i was shouting like "yeah, everyone come here the prizes are delicious and cool".

Afterwards we are tired to shout so we kept quiet and we was like "ahhh... we won't get any money if like this"  or "i think our game isn't that interesting..."  suddenly there were some students came and teachers also came to play. we was like "at last there are players" or " thank God..."   at first Billy tried to shot the balloons but he failed and he felt dissapointed and ashamed so, he tried and tried until he won and he got his prizes then he walk away. but after several students and teachers played, he came again and he said that he wanted to play again so, we gave him the darts. he played and played and played non stop.

From this game we earned Rp 50.000.
My reflection is that this Math Carnaval is very fun because i can also learned probability from this games and from others games. like for example how many chances that he/she will get the Red paper color, how many chances that he/she will get the right chair to sit on, how many chances that he /she will succeed on putting the coins into the cups in the aquarium with waters in it, etc. We also had fun with the students and teachers who played in our game.
