Guess My Number or Algebra Magic
Each student will be creating their own "trick." Your project will be graded on the following criteria:
1. Title on the page (10 points)
2. Word presentation of the steps (40 points)
(4 clear steps, steps cannot be just the inverse of the previous step)
3. Numeric example on the front to show your trick works (10 points)
4. Algebraic expression on the back. Must be written with a variable. (10 points)
5. Layout and design (10 points)
6. Creativity (10 points)
7. Turned in by Thursday, October 27th. (10 points)
Each student can choose whether they want to end up with the same number they started with, try a more challenging problem of creating one that always ends with the same number, or something totally on their own. The trick just must work every time. Have fun!
