Math tricks are cool ways to inspire even the most math
resistant kids. Here are some number games you can let your children and other
kids incorporate in their activities.
1. Let the children multiply 37,037 by any single number from 1 to 9, then multiply the product by 3. They will be able to come up with an answer where every digit will be the same as that of the first single number.
2. The 5 dice trick
Teach this trick to your kids to impress friends while building their basic math skills.

2. The 5 dice trick
Teach this trick to your kids to impress friends while building their basic math skills.
You will need 5 dice. In performing
the trick, you tell the watchers that you can see through the dice all the way
to the bottom numbers then roll all the 5 dice on the table. As you pretend to be looking through the dice
to see the numbers, you will actually be adding up the top numbers of all the 5
dice. After getting the sum of the top
numbers, you will announce the sum of the bottom numbers.
You’ll be able to get the sum of
the bottom numbers by subtracting the sum of the top numbers from 35. Let one
of the spectators turn over the 5 dice and have him add up the numbers.
How it works:
The sum of the top number and the bottom number on any die
is 7. For instance, if you toss a die and the top number is a 3, the number at
the bottom will be 4, so 3 + 4 = 7.
Therefore, if you roll out 5 dice, the total of all the top
and bottom numbers will be 35, which you get by multiplying 5 by 7.
