Math Magicians engages children in mathematical thinking and reasoning
through its card game context. As players search for their opponents’ secret
numbers, they practice important number sense concepts and skills, such
as equivalence, properties of numbers and computation. Algebraic reasoning
comes into play as well when simultaneous equations need to be solved by
advanced players. Math Magicians promotes logical thinking and active problem
solving. As clues are shared, decisions need to be made based on deduction.Communication
skills are honed as moves are discussed with a partner. The game can take
many twists and turns before a winner emerges. And once there is a winner,
