The branching map looks like this:

Learning objectives:

Math common core standards address the game’s learning topics from Grade 6 and beyond. Grade 8 students would benefit the most from this game as it will ask them to connect proportional relationships with algebraic expressions and linear functions, which are three big ideas examined in the mathematics common core standards but not always connected among each other:

• Proportionality (see: http://www.corestandards.org/Math/Content/RP/)
• Functions (see: http://www.corestandards.org/Math/Content/F/)
• Expressions (see: http://www.corestandards.org/Math/Content/EE/).

Specifically, the main learning objective for the algebra path is::

“Represent proportional relationships by equations” CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.RP.A.2.C

Progress Status:

I completed a first version of the rising action of the algebra path as a branching scenario. The wording is still a work in progress… I hope it can be understandable at this stage.
