Fractionopoly

So my wonderful 11 year old son comes home from school on Monday with a project. Problem is, I don't see my kids on Mondays because they go with their dad for the night. So Tuesday night, after I got home from work, cooked dinner, cleaned up and did 3 loads of laundry, he comes to me around 8 - 8:30ish and says, "Oh yeah Mommy, I have a project and it's due on Friday". GREAT!!!!

So now it's too late to do anything on Tuesday night, Wednesday nights are useless because the boys have their Youth Group so the project had to be done last night.

So when I finally crawled into bed last night at about 2 a.m., pleased with my, I mean his completed project, I thought "hmmmmm, not bad for last minute!" I better, eh hem, I mean HE better get an A!!!!!

Anyone else have last minute project success stories? Or ideas for the future??????

That's awesome for a quick project. All my projects were very quick ones before college, then for some reason I became a planner. You can see my recent project (not for school) in the flickr photos on the front page that I been planning since last christmas. It's computer controlled christmas lights to music, custom built by me.

How are they going to learn if you keep doing their homework for them?

I think I completely fried every braincell I have left!

Instead of Chance and Community Chest, we made Solve and Make. For Solve, when you flipped the card over, it was a Fraction Problem that the player had to solve. When you flipped the Make card over, it was something like "Make the player to the right of you solve a Fraction Problem. If they get it wrong, they owe you $200.00 but if they get it right, you owe them $300.00".

The RailRoads are North, East, South & West Playground. Free Parking was a Homework Pass and Jail is Detention. The Utilities were Book Fair, Field Trip and Class Pictures.

I hand wrote out Property Cards but only put the name of the property, (ie Minus Manor), the Martgage Value and Rent Amount. As for the Money, yeah, he took the Monopoly money, there just wasn't enough time (or coffee) to do that!

You'll understand when you have kids!

Besides, I didn't do it ALL for him, just the Layout, and the Writing, and the Property Cards. He did everything else. He came up with the property names, Drew the different playground items, colored in all the blocks, Wrote out the Solve & Make cards, wrote out the Fractionopoly and hand wrote the Instruction Pamphlet.

I, I mean, HE better get an A!
