Players: 2 Skills: Adding (Subtracting, Multiplying, Dividing) Tools: Playing cards from 2-9 (leave out A, 10, J, Q, K) Procedure: 1. Divide the cards evenly between players. 2. Both players turn over their top card. 3. The first player to correctly add the two cards wins both cards. 4. If both players answer correctly at the same time, 3 more cards are turned over. The last of these is added. Whoever says the total correctly first gets all 8 cards. 5. Play continues until one player has all of the cards. Variations: Add in the A as a value of 1 Play with dice instead Play with 3 or more players Take turns to add the numbers. Level 2: Subtract the smaller from the larger number. The first person to say the difference wins both cards. Level 3: Start with a deck of playing cards that has only A-5. Each player has half the cards. Each player turns over their top card. Multiply the numbers. The first person to correctly identify the product wins both cards. As players learn more multiplication facts, add more cards to the deck. Level 4: Turn over 3 cards. Make a 2-digit number with the two highest cards, and divide by the lowest card. The first person to correctly answer (including the remainder) wins the cards. .
