This document outlines a webquest for 8th grade math students. It includes an introduction explaining that students will play online math games and create their own games. The task section describes the process - students will play games on specific websites, then work in groups to design 3 original math games covering topics like fractions, decimals, percents, etc. They must explain the rules and materials. The evaluation section provides a rubric to score the games. The conclusion restates that completing this webquest will improve math skills in a fun way.
