1- Objectives :-
Monopoly is a game based on having money, land and making business.
The primary objective of the game is to monopolize the whole game by keep maximizing your wealth and be the richest player. The second objective is to gain as much properties as possible so you can avoid paying rent and make your opponents go bankrupt. (Dodson, 2011)
The major learning outcome from playing Monopoly is that it creates a social culture of individuals who have the abilities to deal with different situations in the business world which increase the individual financial I.Q. In addition, According to Orbanes;"If you’ve spent hours when you were younger – or still do – playing the game of Monopoly, know that you were actually learning valuable lessons in everyday spending, saving and investing".
. (Orbanes, 2013)
2- Effects of Monopoly on Children, Adults and Elderly people :-
One of The most essential outcomes of Monopoly for children is the mathematical learning. By playing Monopoly, the child acquires the basic mathematical operations such as, division, subtraction and so forth. Although, all these arithmetic operations will be taught in schools but the way they have been conveyed in Monopoly more fun and entertaining which as a result of that will make math more beloved and interesting subject to children. For example, Mathopoly is a game based on Monopoly rules but the main difference between them is that Mathopoly is designed so that only mathematical operation are applicable here. (Pascale, 2009)
Furthermore, Monopoly is a game that can bond a family together by spending more time while playing it. This can have a significant role in their social development. Moreover, they will learn the values of being social and active through this simple game. (Orbanes, 2013)
Compared to the children, adults and elderly people have different way of getting the benefits of Monopoly. After a long stressed day of work, Monopoly can be a stress reliefer for them. Once they start playing this game, they forget about their whole day. All their problems and issues which seem to be very stressfully are suddenly disappeared during the time they spend playing this game. (Orbanes, 2013)
3- Discussion :-
Improving the mathematical skills is one of the most important educational aims of Monopoly and Uno game. These types of games depend mainly on numerical skills, such as subtraction and addition which Strengthens and improve these Arithmetic operations for children and in an easy and entertaining way.
We all hear the term “monopoly” before. If somebody doesn't apprehend a monopoly is outlined as “The exclusive possession or management of the provision or change a artifact or service.” but a natural monopoly could be a little totally different in which means from its counterpart. during this paper we'll be wanting into the question: whether or not the govt. ought to read telephones, cable, or broadcasting as natural monopolies or not; and may they be regulated or not?
Numeracy is a mathematical skill that is needed to be a confident teacher. This unit of study has allowed students to build their knowledge in the mathematical areas of competency and disposition towards numeracy in mathematics. The six areas of mathematics under the Australian Curriculum that were the focus of this unit were; algebra, number, geometry, measurements, statistics and probability. Covering these components of the curriculum made it evident where more study and knowledge was needed to build confidence in all areas of mathematics. Studying this unit also challenges students to think about how we use numeracy in our everyday lives. Without the knowledge if numeracy, it can make it very challenging to work out may problems that can arise in our day to day activities. The knowledge of numeracy in mathematics I have has strengthened during the duration of this unit. This has been evident in the mathematics support I do with year 9 students at school, as I now have a confident and clear understanding of algebra, number, geometry, measurements, statistics and probability.
The game's rules were designed by Catherine L. Coghlan and Denise W. Huggin. The purpose of the game is to change a familiar game like Monopoly that most students know into a teaching tool to teach students how real society functions. (*See the end of the post for links to their study and directions for playing the game.*)
Through Emma’s recompense for her carelessness in playing with others, she is able to acquire self-knowledge and learn her feelings for Mr. Knightley. Games should not be seen as negative parts of the novel; they showcase the shortcomings of the players. While the role of game shed light on the flaws of characters, they ultimately are a means of learning and growth. Knowing the role of individual games breaks down the role of games in society. Society is the greatest game of all. It is worked out masterfully and meticulously by the players through convention, wit, blushing, dancing, and of course games.
The first thing that one notices when looking at this image is two people appearing to have a good time playing the board game known as Battleship. Both players are smiling and making animated gestures; the older player even appears to enjoy losing. This superficial analysis probably resulted in many impulse buys and a large profit for Messrs. Milton and Bradley. For many people, the implications stop there: “Battleship is fun. You should buy Battleship.”
Analysis – Both assessments will provide students with opportunities to demonstrate their leaning of decimal multiplication by relating base ten block to the area models. When students will be constructing decimals, I will be able to see if they understand that the flat represent the whole, a rod is equal to a tenth, and a unit represents a hundredth. The activities will reveal any misconceptions students may have about the place value, or I may be able to see whether students have struggled with making various exchanges with the base ten blocks. These pieces of information will reveal whether students have mastered a new
Mathematics has become a very large part of society today. From the moment children learn the basic principles of math to the day those children become working members of society, everyone has used mathematics at one point in their life. The crucial time for learning mathematics is during the childhood years when the concepts and principles of mathematics can be processed more easily. However, this time in life is also when the point in a person’s life where information has to be broken down to the very basics, as children don’t have an advanced capacity to understand as adults do. Mathematics, an essential subject, must be taught in such a way that children can understand and remember.
"It is difficult to understand why so many people must struggle with concepts that are actually simpler than most of the ideas they deal with every day. It is far easier to calculate a percentage than it is to drive a car." (Dewdney 1993, p. 1) To many people, the words "math" and "simple" do not belong in the same sentence. Math has such an aura of difficulty around it that even people who are quite competent in other areas of life are not ashamed to admit they can't "do" math. Innumeracy is more socially acceptable and tolerated than illiteracy (Dewdney 1993; Withnall 1995). Rather than discussing specific ways to teach math to adults, this Digest looks at emerging perspectives on numeracy and their social, cultural, and political implications as a context for new ways of thinking about adult numeracy instruction.
Countless time teachers encounter students that struggle with mathematical concepts trough elementary grades. Often, the struggle stems from the inability to comprehend the mathematical concept of place value. “Understanding our place value system is an essential foundation for all computations with whole numbers” (Burns, 2010, p. 20). Students that recognize the composition of the numbers have more flexibility in mathematical computation. “Not only does the base-ten system allow us to express arbitrarily large numbers and arbitrarily small numbers, but it also enables us to quickly compare numbers and assess the ballpark size of a number” (Beckmann, 2014a, p. 1). Addressing student misconceptions should be part of every lesson. If a student perpetuates place value misconceptions they will not be able to fully recognize and explain other mathematical ideas. In this paper, I will analyze some misconceptions relating place value and suggest some strategies to help students understand the concept of place value.
The more common notion of numeracy, or mathematics in daily living, I believe, is based on what we can relate to, e.g. the number of toasts for five children; or calculating discounts, sum of purchase or change in grocery shopping. With this perspective, many develop a fragmented notion that numeracy only involves basic mathematics; hence, mathematics is not wholly inclusive. However, I would like to argue here that such notion is incomplete, and should be amended, and that numeracy is inclusive of mathematics, which sits well with the mathematical knowledge requirement of Goos’

According to the united stat patent office: the idea of Monopoly game has been originated by Elizabeth J. Magie back in 1903 when she registered similar board game which was called the landlord's game (Orbanes, 2006). After that, different kinds of board games has been created.
While numeracy and mathematics are often linked together in similar concepts, they are very different from one another. Mathematics is often the abstract use of numbers, letters in a functional way. While numeracy is basically the concept of applying mathematics in the real world and identifying when and where we are using mathematics. However, even though they do have differences there can be a similarity found, in the primary school mathematics curriculum (Siemon et al, 2015, p.172). Which are the skills we use to understand our number systems, and how numeracy includes the disposition think mathematically.
The early acquisition of mathematical concepts in children is essential for their overall cognitive development. It is imperative that educators focus on theoretical views to guide and plan the development of mathematical concepts in the early years. Early math concepts involve learning skills such as matching, ordering, sorting, classifying, sequencing and patterning. The early environment offers the foundation for children to develop an interest in numbers and their concepts. Children develop and construct their own meaning of numbers through active learning rather than teacher directed instruction.
