A Deck of Cards
A deck of cards presents a myriad of opportunities for fact
practice. Addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division—you can practice it all with a simple set of
playing cards. Generally, I remove the
Ace and picture cards but a value can be assigned to those cards. A multiplication chart and/or calculator
provides the necessary assist to keep the game moving and fun. After all, games are supposed to be fun don’t
you think? And if you can learn a few
facts, awesome benefit!!
Decide which facts you want your child to practice and
select the appropriate cards for practice and play. You put the cards down, your child adds them
up (subtracts, multiplies or divides), and whoever initially put down the
highest value card, gets to keep all of the cards. Check the answer (or find the answer) with
the multiplication chart or calculator. Simple
and quick as you have limited the size of card deck. No need for a marathon war game.
