A game board apparatus and method of playing a game for improving mathematical skills that includes a game board having a top surface. The top surface has indicia forming a grid thereon and the grid includes a plurality of boxes for positioning one of a plurality of game pieces thereon. The plurality of boxes further includes blank boxes, symbol boxes, chance boxes and bonus boxes. The apparatus also includes a plurality of game tiles comprising number tiles, symbol tiles, and joker tiles and blank tiles. The number tiles have the digits 0 through 9 marked thereon, the symbol tiles have arithmetic symbols marked thereon, and the joker tiles have the word "joker" marked thereon so that the are for representing any symbol or number indicated by a player. The apparatus further includes a plurality of chance cards for use when a player moves a game tile onto a chance box. The chance cards have point and explanation indicia.The method of playing the game to improve mathematical skills includes selecting a color of tiles by each of the players for identifying each tile placed on the game board by each different player. Then, the method includes dispensing a plurality of sets of game tiles to each player. The method further includes starting the game with each player having a preliminary score of 150 points. Further, the method includes placing a series of tiles by a first one of the players on the game board in an order forming an equation of whole numbers from the plurality of sets of game tiles on the top surface of the board. The equation is formed of whole numbers from 1 through 99 and is formed of less than twelve tiles. Further, the equation includes at least two symbol tiles with one of the symbol tiles having the "=" symbol indicated thereon. Also, the equation is formed along either a horizontal axis or a vertical axis of the game board. |
