Careful+Coloring

__**Introduction:**__
By coloring, students will learn about discrete mathematics.

__Objectives:__
In this game, students will use logic and graph theory to color in the game board to try and get the most points.

__Standards:__
12.0 Common Core-Discrete Mathematics 12.1 Demonstrate understanding of fundamentals of discrete mathematics including elements of recurrence, relations, finite difference, approaches, logic, graph theory, linear programing, and combinatories.

__Purpose of Game:__
The purpose of this game is for students to know how to use prior knowledge and strategies to learn the fundamentals of discrete mathematics. The students will use logic to know where to color their specific color on the board, making it possible to gain the most points. The students will also have to understand the importance of graph theory as strategy when playing a game.

__Objectives:__
The objective of the game is to have the highest score by using strategy and decision making.

__Materials:__
Game board Dice And Crayons or markers

__Rules:__
__**Coloring Rules**__ 1. Regions of the same color can only share a point 2. Regions that share a side cannot be the same color This game can be played with 2-4 people. Player one rolls the dice and colors the corresponding regions anywhere on the board, remembering to rules for coloring. The second player rolls and colors teh appropriate regions in their color, remembering the coloring rules. Each player must also record their score onto the record sheet. Once the board is full, the player who has the most points according to the record sheet, WINS! (When a player is out of moves, the other players get to have more more turn and then the game is over.)
