GOT
CARDS?
If so, then you have games to practice math skills. Below are
some great math games to reinforce and strengthen math concepts!
Have fun and play often!
Product or Multiplication War-
Played by flipping over two cards at a time and multiplying the
two. Answers should be spoken out loud. The player with the
highest product wins the cards. If an incorrect answer is
given, the other person wins the cards. Continue play until
someone wins all the cards.
Variations-
Addition and Subtraction War- just remember to subtract the
largest card first.
* use more than one deck, flip over three cards to multiply or
add!
Fraction War-
turn two cards over, use the larger card as the denominator. The
greatest fraction wins.*
Variations- Make Improper Numbers by using the largest number of
the two cards as the numerator! Change to an improper fraction,
biggest fraction wins!
