MATERIALS: Small tri fold poster board Metal paper clips ;accidently bought plastic which will not work Colored Brass Plated Fasteners ;I used pink to match my

project A LOT of Electric tape ;normal tape might not stick so choose a strong one Mini holiday lights ;cut out 8 lights Insulated Wire; I had bought 20 ft. but I bought another 20 ft. of wire because I was not good at clipping the wires so if its your first time, be sure to buy extra 2 9v batteries; this depends on how many lights you have but since I had 8, I used 2 batteries A small screw driver to drill holes in the board

Wire strippers; found out that this wasnt really necessary, I could have used scissors Glitter; essential element Sharpie (permanent marker): because horrible drawing skills are not enough, you have to make it permanent Markers in your choice of colors to write questions and

answers Something to cover the wire from the front (optional) More glitter, butterflies, and rhinestones

Steps:

1. I created 10 challenging math questions but I only used 7 because that was all that fit on the board

2. Since I had 7 questions, I punched 7 holes on both sides of the poster board with a screw driver in order

to put the fasteners in. 3. I wrote the questions on one side of the board and the answers on the other side using colored markers. I switched up the answers so that they are not on the same line. I wanted to make sure they could not tell the answer by just looking at it. 4. I cut 8 bulbs from the Holiday lights using a wire stripper. The correct way to cut is to use the bottom of it. And to strip the wire, use the top and move it back and forth until it comes off. This might take a while to

get right.

5. I inserted the fasteners in the holes. 6. On the back side of the board, connect the holes for each pair of matching questions and answers using insulated wires. Make sure you have a piece long enough to connect them. You will also cut it with the wire stripper and strip each side. 7. You have to be careful to make sure the wires are fastened really well to the fasteners or it will not work. Then, keep it in place by taping all the wires using

electric tape. 8. Tip: I made sure to have numbered the questions and answers before I did this, so that I do not connect the wrong ones. 9. Line up two batteries so that the positive terminal of one is touching the negative terminal of the other one. 10. Wrap a piece of tape around the batteries the short way where the ends of the batteries meet. 11. Connect one piece of wire to each terminal of the battery. 12. Take one free end of the wire (the other end is attached to the battery now) and tape it to the wire from one end of the light bulb wire.

13. Attach a metal paper clip (or any other small metal, I used alligator clips) to the other wire from

the light bulbs. 14. Attach another paper clip to the end of the remaining loose piece of the wire. Use tape to keep it in place. 15. I decorated my poster board by drawing a chandelier using a black sharpie. I then wrote a quote at the top that I felt fit the challenge. 16. I decorated my chandelier by using rhinestones, a butterfly, and glitter. 17. I wanted to cover up the wire sticking out from each side of the board so I used a green fabric that is used for gift wrapping and I stapled it around the wire. 18. I made sure my quiz board was working by clipping the fastener of the right question to its correct answer and I knew it worked because the lights that I put in the chandelier turned on. 19. You can now sigh in relief because you have finished your project. However, do not get too excited!!
