So, with the previous fetches - you can get the relevant basic. I understand the above comment about 5-C fixing, but in 2 or 3 - you didn't have to start at 17 - it is just often the best strategy for later in the game...
Hi KatieDawn,
I taught HS for ten years. I used games a bit (where I thought I could get away with it) and I thought it had potential to go further. I used MTG a bit (but in a Chemistry context - illustrating reaction mechanisms)and D&D some (the alignment plotting was particularly crunchy!) I think the Frank Karsten articles are going to be too deep for most 7th grade classrooms - he actually does some impressive stats crunch at times and I love his articles.
I think maybe you could start from a simpler perspective. A couple of illustrative questions might be "What percentage of the deck is lands?" and tie that to ratios (25/60 or 45/100) etcetera. Tie it in to your standards - I assume y'all have those up there, I am familiar with the American "system".

I would love to hear more from you on this.
