Students from grades 6 through algebra will love this engaging project in which they figure out a magic trick involving algebra and then go on to create their own version. Using the simple hundreds chart from kindergarten, students embark on an exploration of the rich number sense and algebraic thinking that is hidden in the chart. Even younger students who struggle in math will be able to make the algebra connection and create their own magic tricks. The projects make a great display on the classroom walls and will be a hit at open house.
