Each Concept Learning Brick is organized with a question, answer, physical gesture movement, concept examples, and picture to represent the academic term.
The image on the card, associated memory gesture, and vocabulary definition allow students to see, hear, say, and do so much more with these crucial terms in a way that is fun and engaging. There are games covering addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, percents, decimals, patterns, positive and negative integers, as well as many others. Over 60 different games with directions and illustrations!
I have been playing versions of this concept over the past few years. The students are always engaged for a long period of time. I really like some of the additional ideas found here. Thanks you for this idea. I am going to try it with some of my math-challenged older students. If I make it into a fun, class competition with some prizes, maybe I can help the students improve their math knowledge and skills without them knowing it and complaining about it. A Math War tournament? I have one more idea that will make the challenge level even greater!
With your deck of cards in hand, CUT OFF the corner numbers from the cards leaving only the subitized pattern also known as the visual cluster of the number left. One could buy these cards already cut, http: I wonder how my math club students would react to cards without numbers. Something new to try next semester…. They have just been introduced to the slope formula and each card has two points listed. I love this because they will also have to compare fractions which is also a weakness.
These are all great additions to my arsenal of math games, they are the BEST! I was already doing some, but never thought of some of these alternatives!
Multiplication flash cards in shuffled (Math flash cards) (Wonderful Mathematics Series) - Kindle edition by Angie May. Download it once and read it on your. Editorial Reviews. From the Author. THE IMPROVE YOUR MATH FLUENCY SERIES OF #11 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Nonfiction > Science > Mathematics > Popular & Elementary > Arithmetic; #19 in This has been great for teaching my kids their times tables and since it's on my phone we can do it anywhere!:).
Red wires being positive, black wires being negative. Unless of course you talking about the stock market where red ink is negative and black ink is a positive thing. However mixing up electricity I think is far more dangerous. Thank you for all of the variations. That sounds like fun, JoAnn! For a slightly more difficult set of games, you can extend the values up to 14 by using Rook cards. How many are in a deck, and what values do they have?
If it goes or even better, , they would make excellent math cards for a wide variety of games. Rook cards are in four colors black, red, green, yellow , plus one unnumbered card which could be used for a 0. A face-down card would be another way to represent zero, as could a face card from a standard deck queen would be my pick, since Q looks a lot like 0. Now I will insert a paragraph mentioning Rook cards as an alternative, especially for older students who will enjoy the challenge of bigger numbers. For example, Rook cards would be fun to use in the 24 game.
Just happened to find your blog and truly your article on the Game that is worth worksheets inspires me! Will definitely use it on my Grade 1 students soon. We are about to learn number bonds next week and your writing is very helpful! This is so great, thank you! When I was teaching my sister math she was homeschooled we played a version of go fish in which you made matches that equal ten we would use numbers She was being taught math using an abacus as was I and my dad, and all three of us are amazing at math and memorizing all the numbers that add to make ten is very important.
Thanks for these great variations on the standby. Headed for long train ride. Was just starting to pack games. This will save us a lot of space and provide hours of fun — and may practice unbeknownst to them. I love this post. I am involved with my childrens schools parent committee. Currently our schools are focusing on increaseing knowledge and understanding of math.
For Christmas we plan on giving decks of cards to each family and would like to include card games for them to play.
I would love to pass this post on to the families in our school. I will give your website full credit…would love to know it this would be OK with you. I like the use of something that everyone can afford. Thanks for all the variations. I will pass it on to my grandchildren! Very little explanation and setup time!
We get to use all of our time for actual practice.
My kids will have fun with these! My son learns best with games. He hates doing worksheets!
My 1st grader and I used a deck of cards to practice addition and subtraction facts. Then we each drew 2 cards at a time and could add or subtract any way to mark off answers on our boards. We had to go through the deck multiple times to get just the right answers by the end of the second game I let him draw one card and tell which card he needed to get the numbers left on the board.
We used to play a similar game, making a chart like your Bingo board, but playing it like tic-tac-toe. The kids would draw cards or throw dice , and they could choose whichever operation they wanted to use. The goal was to mark three squares in a row, but the cards added randomness to make it more challenging.
I like this idea! I have an 8 year old who is still struggling with the most basic math concepts. This is very promising. Going to pick up a deck or 2 of cards tomorrow. This is a great idea for Adult Basic Education! We Goodwill Goodskills — an Americorps Adult Literacy program will use it with our participants who are relatively new to number manipulation. This card remains during the entire game. Players take turns laying down a card next to the 7, and first one to say what seven times that new number is, wins the one card.
Another teacher that I work with came up with a Rounding War Game: Divide up cards as if playing regular war. Each student puts down 2 or 3 cards depending on how large a number you tell them to make in a line to make one big number.
The students race to see who can round the number first, and say it out loud. You can decide ahead of time what place they will be rounding to, and have all students round to that place the whole game, or you can have students take turns calling out a place to round to before they both lay down their cards. My class 5th-7th grade has had fun with fraction war and exponent war.
With exponent war you just set down 2 cards each and compute as if the second card is the exponent of the first card. Hi, m new to this place. In a row, the first one forms the biggest possible number with the 4 cards. The next one should form the next biggest, the next one the next biggest and so on……this may first be started with three digits. At the next level, you choose a set of 4 cards randomly, like 2,5,9,6 and play the same game. Great extra adding practice especially as kids start to use good strategies like trying to make tens and then counting the tens! Do you add them up as you go along, or all at once at the end?
And do you keep score and go for a certain total number of points? Hey man, great article! Thanks for taking the time to write this. The key difference between this and a worksheet is that games are low-stress. Also, quality time playing with a parent is always good, right? I know another game that can be done as a whole class activity or small group.

Dinosaur Multiplication Workbook takes the math flash card concept to a new level that's fun and engaging. The book is nicely organized, covering the standard multiplication tables up to Quizzes cover each table progressively.
The first section tests each table one at a time. Next is a very nice feature that lets your child work on a mix of tables "up to" the number of your choice. An overall review section covers all the table, and the last part uses a "missing factor" or "fill in the blank" approach, where the answer is given, but one of the multipliers is missing.
Best of all is the innovative mix of dinosaur facts and trivia. These are interspersed amongst the test questions, so the further you progress, the more dinosaur tidbits you get. It's actually a pretty enticing approach, injecting some fun and anticipation into what is often presented as a rather boring drill.
If your child is working on multiplication tables, this is a great resource to add. It makes math practice something to look forward to, and the Kindle version makes it completely portable. It's easy to fill a few minutes of waiting time or driving time with a little constructive multiplication review. It is great for gaining greater number sense while helping to learn multiplication facts.
