Intriguing math tricks teaching Pre-Algebra through Algebra 2

Description and Features

Grab your students' attention with these great collections of classic magic tricks that have historically appeared as recreations or oddities in early mathematics books, magic books, and magazines.

Students find these tricks intriguing, which makes them wonderful motivational activities to begin or end a class. As students do these tricks, they begin to feel that the tricks are indeed "magic," that is, they believe them but cannot explain them. Analyzing the "why it works" of each trick leads students on mathematical explorations to explain the theories behind the magic.

An easy-to-use matrix of skills in each book helps teachers correlate specific activities to their math curricula. Algebra Magic Tricks Book 2 is for Pre-Algebra through Algebra II skill level. This book contains 15 activities with detailed solutions.
