Addition/Subtraction Playing Card Game Board {Multiplication/Division too!}

One of the “games” from our math curriculum was to play a little addition/subtraction game using playing cards. We loved it so much that I made a little game board to go along with it!You can probably come up with various different ways to alter the game, but this is how we play. Start with the game board and a deck of playing cards. Begin with the deck of cards stacked, face side down. Turn over the cards one at a time until you are able to make a complete addition or subtraction equation. Once you are able to make an equation, put the cards in the appropriate spot on the game board. You cannot remove the cards from the board until you have made both an addition and subtraction equation. (This ensures that there is practice with BOTH addition and subtraction…and not just addition…my daughter got over on me with this one and that is why I included this little rule!) LOL

Once you have made your two equations, remove the cards, set them aside and continue turning over cards from the stack until you are able to make another equation. This process {practice} continues until all the cards in the deck have been turned over and there are no more possible equations to be made.

FYI, though we haven’t really used it yet, I did include a multiplication/division game board in the download as well!

    Hi Erin,
    Believe it or not, I found these cards at a garage sale. I tried to find them on Amazon but was not successful. My apologies!!!

    Hello Jen,
    I came across your blog, and I really love this game idea. I’m wondering, where did you get the cards from? The cards that I currently have don’t seem appropriate for this game.

    Thanks,
    Erin

    This is such a great idea. My daughter isn’t quite ready for this yet, but I will stow it away for later.
