Why Einstein's Equation Game?
Games make learning fun
Lower’s anxiety and opens possibilities
Competition is a motivator
Provides a need to know more about alternative algorithms
Easily modified for differentiation, age or ability

How to Play
Play with Shoulder Buddy
Roll die, highest roll goes first
Roll 12 dice, called Mover
Organize dice or resources
Mover selects a goal or answer
Challenger determines if goal is possible or not

Flubs
P Flub = No solution is possible, Mover must prove there are still possible solutions
A Flub = Move allows a solution using at most one more cube from resources, Challenge proves a solution can be made with one more cube from resources
C Flub = Mover should have challenged a pervious Flub
Can be a set up, so pay attention!

Keeping Score
Keep it easy, the task is creating equations, scoring should not be difficult
One point for either finding a Flub or winning with the last equation
Give reward for team that wins most points, no ties rewarded
