Mathematical focus as a great way to have fun in the company

Who among us in my childhood did not dream of becoming a magician. Having matured, we, of course, understand that in skilful representations there is no magic at all, but we still continue to be fascinated to look at the dexterity of the hands of professionals and the ability to hit the audience with their magical performances.

We are having fun together

Spending time in the company, in addition to outdoor activities, you can compete with pleasure in intellectual skills. To help in this matter, of course, you will come to various riddles, puzzles and tricks with numbers or math. To everything, you will be able to check your mindset, perhaps, you are hiding extraordinary opportunities, which Einstein himself would envy. We present several ideas for you, how to diversify your leisure time in a fun company, where, of course, you can flash with your mind and charm.

Entertaining Mathematics

It is proved that solving mathematical mathematics, you perfectly develop logical thinking and perfectly train memory.

No wonder this science is considered the queen of all sciences. Do not think that it is difficult to solve such puzzles, they just require considerable concentration of attention and a little patience.

Count the numbers

Before showing in the company focuses with numbers, try to make sure the availability of the calculator at hand or in good knowledge of the interlocutor of the multiplication table, well, and in advance, practice yourself to avoid being trapped.

One of the simple and fun is the ability to quickly add a few numbers, it is especially interesting when numbers are multi-valued, and there are many. Let a friend write numbers that have the same number of digits. The more these numbers, the more spectacular the mathematical focus will seem. Next, you add to its number the same number of your own and ask him to fold everything. The answer you can give instantly.

The bottom line is that you must add numbers by the method - the numbers should complement the numbers of your interlocutor to the number 9. Example: by the number 874 you have to finish your 125. The sum is ^calculated according to the formula X × (10 ^ʸ -1) Number of numbers, y - the number of digits in the number. If there is a digit 9, then 0 is assigned to it.

Example:

You have written the numbers 874, 587 and 254, you are adding your 125, 412 and 745. As long as your subject will accumulate all these numbers for a long time, you will quickly count 3 × (10 ^³ -1) = 3 × 1000-3 × 1 = 2997.

Entangled Cards

If in your company there is a deck at hand, then mathematical tricks with maps can quite well interest tourists. There are a lot of examples of them, let us consider the simplest and most popular one.

21 cards are counted from the deck. They are decomposed into 7 rows of 3 cards upwards. The participant should mentally choose and remember the card that attracted him, telling you the column where it is located. Then add the cards from the speakers stacks, and then these stacks into one. That pile, where the card was, is always in the middle. Turn the cards upside down and again arrange them according to the same scheme. Let the viewer look and say in which column his card is. Again, put everything together, the column in which the card you have envisioned is again placed between the two others, and re-arrange. Let the viewer again indicate the pile with the card, fold them again. If you count the cards, then the card will be 11 on the account.

Focuses children

When organizing a holiday for children, it is worth considering not only the banquet menu, but also an entertaining part of the program. Thinking of all possible fun, contests and active games, take care of the intellectual part. Mathematical tricks for children will not only help to focus their attention, but will also give the holiday a cheerful humorous mood. To all this, it will allow children to make some breathing space between games.

Simple enough, but at the same time it will be interesting to focus, when all the participants are involved. Suggest one of the viewers to write on the sheet a 3-digit number, the second participant let him add to this number still the same, it turned out already 6-digit. Next, let's divide it by 7, the other participant will divide the number already by 11, then the participant will multiply the number by 2, the other will divide the result by 13. At the end the amount on the sheet is announced to the presenter, and he says the number originally conceived. This mathematical focus is very simple. The secret is that when the number of 3 digits was spelled out a second time, it turned out that it was automatically multiplied by 1001, then we divided it into 7, 11 and 13, thereby simply dividing it by 1001. As a result, we got a number from 3 characters, multiplied by 2, and by summary you just need to divide the number by 2.

Playing at home

If the window is bad weather and slush, and guests on the doorstep, to invent entertainment for them will not be very difficult. Home tricks, the technique of performing which is easy and simple, will, as never before, by the way. Basically, of course, such entertainment will please more children, rather than adults, but any joke can bring into the atmosphere some kind of ease and positive attitude.

Very simple is the trick with the coin. Take a few lemons, put them on a plate and ask viewers to choose any of them. Lemons can be touched to make sure that they are safe and sound. Next, you cut the lemon, and inside it is a coin. The trick is that beforehand to the knife it is necessary to stick a small coin to the plasticine, holding it in your hand, cover it with your finger. Once you start to cut the fruit, gently push the coin to the cut. Pulling out the knife, grasp it with two halves of a lemon, that the coin has got inside and has slightly stuck. That's the whole secret.

Remember that before you begin to perform, you yourself must master some technique, whether it's a mathematical trick or a whole magical performance. Try to do everything confidently, clearly and harmoniously, so as not to introduce the viewer into doubt in your professionalism. Be sure that the company will not only gladly appreciate your performance, but also excellent time for such fascinating pursuits.
