Hello again! Thank you all for a wonderful first day in math class. Hopefully you are all thrilled to do your math homework tonight ... right?
Trans Math: Magic Trick
*You will need 16 cards, 4 each of 4 different cards.
*Follow these steps:
1) Tell your story (shopping? parties?) Show your 4 groups.
2) Deal out your cards face down so that each "person" goes into one of the 4 piles.
3) Have the "people" prepare to go home by stacking the 4 piles on top of one another.
4) Have them travel home by cutting the deck many, many times.
5) Deal the cards back out, face down and HOPE that they all made it home safely.
6) Turn the piles over!
NEXT: EXPLAIN THE TRICK - the math behind the trick and why it works.
Have your parent sign your paper.
Due: Friday! You will turn it into the basket.
