` In mathematics, a magic square of order n is anarrangement of n2 numbers, in a square, such thatthe n numbers in all rows and all columns sum to

the same constant (also known as the MagicConstant or M).

` M agic 2 utilizes this concept to reinforce topics

such as Integers, Real Numbers and Polynomialsin a fun, interactive and graphic manner.

` Mathematically speaking the magic constant ( M) of a normal magic square depends only on n andhas the value

` For normal magic squares of order n = 3, 4, 5, ...,the magic constants are:15, 34, 65, 111, 175, 260,...

` Magic Squares are available for all orders except2, although the case of order 1 is trivial.

the Encyclopedia of the Brethren of Purity (RasailIkhwan al-Safa ).

` The Game is Based on Magic Squares and aimsat reinforcing topics such as Integers, RealNumbers and Polynomials among children in an

easy and interactive manner.

` An enriching and fun game for 2 to 4 players.

` The basic Objective of this Game is for players tocomplete as many Magic Squares as possiblewithin a stipulated time.


10/16

` The time limit can be decided by the players ( I would recommend 5 rounds of 1 minute each ).

` A player has to roll a dice which will determine the

level of the card he has to pick. A 6 means that theplayer has to roll again.` Players are awarded points based on the number

of cards they are able to complete of each level

(Level Scheme is Given at the end of thePresentation ).


11/16

` At the end, the player with the highest number of points wins.

` This Game helps to develop a quick responseamong children.

` Children are also able to shake off the fear of Maths.

` Instructions are also provided in the InstructionsManual.

` The Cards in M agic 2 are divided into 11 categoriesor levels based on their difficulty with Level X I

being the Hardest.

` Level I Green Integers 2 Points` Level II Light Blue Integers 2 Points

` Level III Orange Real Numbers 2 Points` Level IV Off White Real Numbers 5 Points

` Levels V Red Polynomials 5 Points
