Let's party! Math Party of EDCP 342--My favorite Math games

 Game 1: Hua Rong Dao (华容道）

In China, we call this game Hua Rong Dao (华容道). It is also called Klotski, a sliding block puzzle. Today, I want to show you how to play it with cards. So you can play it at any time. You could play 3 x 3, 4 x 4, or 3 x 4, or any number of cards. 





Game 2： 24 game

I started to play this game when I was in grade 5. I found high school students like playing this game too, no matter which grade they are in.  Please help me to solve these two puzzles. You could use any operation.

    Great idea for playing the combinatoric "15 puzzle" (and various versions of it) using cards! Thanks!

    I love the 24 game too -- it's great to do with Grade 8 kids to help develop their number sense.
