"...brain

“As you could see, we have a very lively bunch
here, and they need to be challenged. Your
presentation will provide them with much needed
“brain food” for a long time to come! We look
forward to seeing you again!”

So, what’s a Math-a-Magic
program like?
Finally, an assembly program for 6th
-12th graders that addresses their academic needs! This
interactive program teaches your students statistics (ratios,
probability, dependent events), exponents and factorials, and
the concept of Pi and how to recall the value of Pi to seven
digits.

And everything is taught in a fun,
engaging, and stimulating way that guarantees your students will
not only pay attention, but will retain the information taught.
This is not a program only for the gifted students! In fact,
those who have a hard time with math will get the most from this
program.
As far as the students are concerned, they see an
entertaining,
50-60 minute
program which features magic, tons of audience
participation,
interesting visuals and lots of laughs.
Without looking, one student correctly chooses the
only red card out of six. The others cards are not red.
Three other students team up to accurately guess the one card that is reversed in a deck.
Another
student does a demonstration that has less than a
1 in 270,000 chance of success!

But the real climax is when an effect is performed that should only
succeed one time out of every 3.6 X 1083
attempts.
All along the way they are introduced in a memorable way to probability, statistics, and a
variety of ways to express ratios.
From an educator’s perspective, the program teaches
multiplying fractions and converting fractions
into decimals, the basics
of statistics such as ratios
and calculating the probability of dependent events,
and an introduction to exponents and factorials.
Every student will learn how to recall the value of pi to seven decimal places and how to recall
the reciprocal of pi.
All of this
information is presented in a memorable, fun and educationally
significant manner by a presenter who knows how to entertain an
audience and actually understands the math behind the magic!

Rational or Irrational
- Real
and Complex

They can
even be Square!
Just like
the students in your classes!
Hmmm...

National Pi Day is March 14, and begins
officially at 1:59:26 AM. (3/14 1:59:26)
Math Symbol

The symbol n!, called factorial n, was
introduced in 1808 by Christian Kramp of Strassbourg,
Germany, who chose it so as to circumvent printing
difficulties incurred by the previously used symbol.
