Mathematical Magic!

Thanks to a teacher from TN (Ansley), I now have ANOTHER awesome game to add to my toolbox and so will you!  Here are the directions (the gist).  I'm hoping this link will take you to a video of the game ( Magic 10 Video ).
1)  Remove the jokers.  Have someone pic a "mystery card".  This mystery card cannot be an ace or a facecard.
2)  Deal out 11 cards face up.
3)  Begin making bonds of 10 by covering two cards at a time.  10s and facecards are an exception and get covered as 10s without a pair.
4)  When all cards have been used, pick up piles that make a bond of ten.  There should be one pile left.  It will bond with the mystery card--you'll know the mystery card by seeing the last pile and how it bonds with 10.
Wow!  It's Math magic!!

  1. Do you mind if we download the video and use it for our "Flipped Classroom"? BTW - my kids are playing it right now - they are addicted! Thanks for the great game!
