# Card Deck Algorithms

## Scenario 1&#x20;

Pull the cards, A-10 out of a card deck. (It is preferable that they are the same suit). The goal is to devise an algorithm that when you deal the cards A, 2, 3...10 they are in order. Here is the catch: you are dealing the cards out one face up, then one to the bottom of the deck, one face up, one to the bottom of the deck…..and this will continue until all the cards are face up in order. The students need to work in groups to find/solve the pattern.

## Scenario 2&#x20;

Pull the cards, A-10 out of a card deck. (It is preferable that they are the same suit). The goal is to devise an algorithm that when you deal the cards A, 2, 3...10 they are in order. Here is the catch: you are dealing the cards out one face up, then two to the bottom of the deck, one face up, two to the bottom of the deck…..and this will continue until all the cards are face up in order. The students need to work in groups to find/solve the pattern.

## Scenario 3&#x20;

Pull the cards, A-10 out of a card deck. (It is preferable that they are the same suit). The goal is to devise an algorithm that when you deal the cards A, 2, 3...10 they are in order. Here is the catch: you are dealing the cards out one face up, then three to the bottom of the deck, one face up, three to the bottom of the deck…..and this will continue until all the cards are face up in order. The students need to work in groups to find/solve the pattern.

## Scenario 4&#x20;

Pull the cards, A-10 out of a card deck. (It is preferable that they are the same suit). The goal is to devise an algorithm that when you deal the cards A, 2, 3...10 they are in order. Here is the catch: you are dealing the cards out one face up, then one to the bottom of the deck, one face up, two to the bottom of the deck, one up, three to the bottom of the deck ( then 4 then 5...etc) and this will continue until all the cards are face up in order. The students need to work in groups to find/solve the pattern.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://www.pythonclassroom.com/python-curriculum-map/pedagogy/activities/cards/card-deck-algorithms.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
