Math Strati Tions
Veterans Memorial Intermediate School
Game description: One day two boys became best friends, they had very similar backgrounds, except for the fact that one loved to play math games and the other loved to play strategy games, especially checkers. Many years into the future they both turned out to follow the passion that they had as kids, one became a mathematician and the other became a professional checkers player.
They eventually retired and decided that they weren’t going to stop pursuing the things that they loved to do. One day they went out to breakfast together and they talked about continuing to pursue their favorite things, so they developed a game with a mix of both. As two retired men, they had nothing better to do. Eventually it became very successful world wide. They named it Check “Er” Twice, this is because they both had to check every move they made during their careers. They continued to play the game ‘til the day they died.
