• 3 of Hearts This list was gathered by We are Teachers and is full of math card games.  The best thing about it is they all need just a regular deck of cards.  Here’s the list with the appropriate grade levels:

    • The First Grader Roundup has 3 games (Total of 10, Add it up by 10’s and 10’s go fish) that have students focus on making tens. Total of 10 and Add it up by 10’s are pretty complex in strategy, so even though the math si only to 10, they’d really be more ideal for 2nd grade and up. 10’s go Fish would be great for K and 1st though 😊
    • Weigand’s Mathematics Resources’ Declare a fraction war has student comparing fraction with like and unlike denominators, so it would be ideal for 5th and a challenge for 4th.
    • Top Notch Teaching has 6 games:
      • I Spy with My Little Eye - students make multiplication arrays – great for 3rd grade and up
      • First to Add it Up – find the sum of 3 cards, would be good for 2nd and up
      • Fast Facts – practice multiplication facts, so for 3rd and up
      • Card bingo - *Needs 2 decks* use the counting on strategy to count up cards. Would be good for 2nd graders with parent support, ideal for 3rd and 4th
      • Place Value Cards – students make the biggest number possible by understanding place value to the thousands. Would be great for 2nd and up.
    • Papa.Bubba has a simple version of Make 10 that has you making sums of 10 that would be ideal for Kindies and 1st graders
    • Math Geek Mama shows how to play a sequencing game that would be good for Kindies
    • Math Geek Mama has another card game, Close Call, that has students adding two 2 digit numbers – perfect for 2nd Though it could easily be adapted to two 3 digit numbers for 3rd and up
    • Learn With Math Games has a game called 24 Math Game that would be great for 5th graders as it has them use Order of Operations to make a 4 cards equation to get as close to 24 as possible
    • Math Coach’s Corner has a game, Triple Digit Dare, that could work for 2nd and up, where students use an understanding of place value to make the largest 3 digit number possible. It can even be adapted to use decimals!
