Choose a number between 1 and 10. Add 4, then multiply by 7. Now subtract 28, then divide by your original number. Is your answer 7? How did I know? It's mathmagic! You, too, can be a mathmagician! In this class, students will learn how to manipulate and simplify mathematical expressions through studying a real world problem of creating a magic trick. Students should already have an understanding of order of operations, as well as inverse operations. Students will receive a short tutorial that reviews important concepts before the live session. During the live session, the teacher will answer questions about the tutorial and then take a deeper dive into the subject. Upon completion of the live session, students will complete a short assessment to evaluate their understanding of the subject matter.
