A:This doesn't seem like a math question. The obvious answer is to play the game of marbles with them. When I was a boy, this was a popular game for kids. The idea is that one marble is designated as the shooter . The other marbles are placed in a ring drawn in the dirt.You place the shooter in one hand and using your thumb, shoot it at one of the marbles in the ring , trying to knock it out of the ring. if you succeed, you get a point and another shot. If you " play for keeps" each players puts a certain number of his marbles in the ring and you get to keep the marbles you knock out.There is common board game called Chinese checkers that uses marbles for men. The board has holes in it to hold the marbles.A:As far as marbles and math go, a bag containing various colored marbles is often used to demonstrate probable outcomes. For example, if a bag contains 3 blue marbles, 3 red marbles, and 1 yellow marble, what is the probability that the first two marbles pulled will be of different colors?(In this example, the odds are 5 out of 7, or about 71%. If either a red or blue marble is pulled first, which will each happen 3/7 of the time, there would be four out of six marbles left whose color doesn't match. If the yellow marble is pulled, which will happen 1/7 of the time, the next marble is guaranteed to not match.)

The term derives from the boy's game of marbles which was hugely popular in the US during the last 1/3 of the 19th through the first 1/2 of the 20th centuries.Marbles were almost always wagered through playing a game of "keepsies" whereby each of the players placed an agreed upon number of their marbles equal to those placed by the other players into a circle drawn in the dirt and by knocking other player's marbles outside of the ring by shooting at them using a "shooter" marble from outside the ring, the shooter kept the marbles he "scored" and continued shooting until he missed then it was the next players turn. When all marbles were gone from inside the circle, the game was over and the players kept whatever number of marbles they "scored". It wasn't necessary to keep score in a casual game such as this since whatever marbles each player had afterwards was the score. Since all marbles entered were at risk, it was possible for one or more players to lose all their marbles by the game's conclusion.Since marbles were the prize possessions of many little boys, it is safe to assume that one who had lost all of his might wander around the streets in a daze, perhaps the shock of having been wiped out casting a pall of funk or insanity over the loser, especially if viewed by passersby and out of context. Having lost all ones marbles may have caused the loser to express great anger - an early, alternate connotation of the saying which eventually gave way to the term meaning that one who lost his marbles has gone insane, which is logical as being angry or "mad" can easily morph to "madness" or insanity.

Marbles is a game that uses marbles along with a circle. The goal is to knock your opponents marbles out of a created circle by flicking your marbles towards theirs. Whoever has all of their marbles outside the circle first loses. ********************** Actually, there are many, many variations of the game. Some are only played in certain countries or regions of countries and not all involve knocking out another marble. A popular marble game in France has you flicking your marble around a track like it was a race. In part of Tennessee/Kentucky area they play Roley Hole which has teams of 2 shooting their marble back and forth in their playing Field going into 3 different holes. Very complex and lots of strategy with that one. There is an old game called potsie where you shot your marble into a single hole. These versions don't use any target marbles - only a shooter. Then there are many versions that do use a target marble. In the US, the National Marbles Tournament plays ringer and the US Marbles Championship plays a modified version of ringer but both involve knocking target marbles out of a ten foot diameter circle. In England, during the British and World Marbles Championship, 49 target marbles are clumped together on a six foot diameter, 4 inch raised ring lightly covered in sand.
