Since the Magic Ball League came to my house, my son has been looking for me or my father to play with him at three o'clock to analyze the reasons why he is so keen. I think it's because the simulated baseball scene and the score competition make him feel like a real baseball game. When he hits the ball, he enjoys the joy of constantly getting on base, pushing and scoring. When he pitches, he likes to play magic cards to solve the batter's problem. Even his classmates came to play at home during the summer vacation, and they couldn't wait to take them out to teach them to play. They put the video games aside, and I was so moved to see my mother!

This summer vacation, my son from grade four to grade five went to a math board game class. After the activity, he was still not satisfied. In addition, his family hasn't bought a new board game for a long time, so I went online to search for a math board game suitable for primary school students. As a result, I found the Magic Ball League published and designed by Zhuang Weidong.

What makes my eyes shine even more is that the game mode of this board game is to simulate the rules of baseball games, and the two take turns to be pitchers and batters. After three innings, the one with the highest score wins; Game model is also designed according to the baseball scene, including pitcher's area, batting area, 123 base and home plate bag. This is simply a "dream board game" for my son who likes playing baseball and watching professional baseball!

At the beginning of the game, I saw the design of four base bags, which successfully subdued the son of baseball fans.

The point is, how do math and baseball combine? The key lies in eight "strike ability cards"! In this game, if the batter wants to get on the base, he must roll the dice with the batting ability card. If the batting ability card can be successfully introduced, he must use mathematics to solve the problem, including single-digit subtraction, single-digit division, the concept of greater than less, unconditional abandonment of the base and unconditional entry into the base, so as to decide how many bases to play or go out. Originally, I was worried that my son would be impatient to see the problem-solving conditions on the "strike ability card" or that the problem-solving would get stuck. I didn't expect to find myself worried too much after playing once or twice.

The box of this game indicates that it is suitable for people over eight years old. I compared the mathematical operation ability used by eight "strike ability cards" with the school mathematics curriculum. The concept of single-digit subtraction is primary school one math, the concept of greater than less than is secondary school two math, single-digit division is primary school three math, unconditional elimination method and unconditional input method are primary school four math, and my son will soon be promoted to primary school five, so it is easy for him to solve the problem. Is it difficult for younger children to play? I don't think it is difficult. As long as parents open the concept, children should learn quickly. As for the reading of cards, I found that my son can know the meaning of cards at a glance after playing several times, so it is not a problem.

Simple mathematical operations can quickly calculate the number of forward cardinality.
