Wow your monopoly analysis is excellent, thanks for putting it together. Hopefully you can show a whole new group of people how to think analytically like this! Such a powerful tool to be able to do this. Nice work fellow math nerd! 😀

First off, I never considered Monopoly as a way to teach Math to the kids. Brilliant idea!

Second, maybe now I can win faster instead of staying up in the wee hours of the night 😂

You've convinced me. I'm gonna buy a Monopoly game and force my kids to play with me. I always liked the oranges and violets best.

I will never look at a monopoly game the same way again. Thanks Holly for this analysis - going to try it on my teens.

This is great. I homeschool my kids and am always looking for ways to get them thinking about things differently. I’m going to bet them that I can beat them in Monopoly three times in a row. Then I’ll tell them I actually used math to do it and see if they can come up with how I did it- or at least guess as to what my math strategy involves.
