lovinmomma Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I'm looking for some fun math card games for the kids. What are your favorite? 1st-3rd grade level, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umsami Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 My third grader loved Math War Multiplication card game. I picked up on a kind of whim on Amazon, and it's proven very popular with him and his second grader brother. I let the second grader use the "cheat sheet" card--which has helped him to learn some of his times tables. Somehow, when i play, I seem to lose! We also use various card games from Right Start. Although not a card game, Sum Swamp is a great math game for addition, as well as learning odds/evens. Even my older kids like to play it with their little sister.

alisoncooks Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Rat-a-Tat-Cat We also play lots of card games with a regular deck of cards (from the Singapore 1A HIG). I modified a regular deck of cards by turning an ace into a 1 (modge podged a "1" onto it) and a jack into a zero (again, modge podge over jack, put on a "0"), so that I had 4 sets of 0-10. War, Go fish, making 10s, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 My 1st and 3rd grader love Zeus on the Loose. Math Dice is fun, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByGrace3 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 We love RS games. Particularly go to the dump, addition and subtraction war, corners, money war. My kids also love the game of chips, though not a card game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraysonsMom Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 We love the card game exact change. It is very similar to Uno, but teaches them to understand money. We also like sink or swim. You can google it for some play mats than all you need are dice. We started with the basics of adding and move up to multiplication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momsuz123 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Snap-it-up has some fun ones! I second rat-a-tat cat. Right start math card games are great too. More of a dice game is 789. That is fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatmansWife Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Rack-O, Speed, and the Right Start card games. Go to youtube and type in alabacusmathfun and you'll see about 11 of the RS games demonstrated. Other card games we love, not sure if you'll consider them math games...but they do have numbers on the cards, are Skip-Bo and Phase 10. A fun dice game is Yahtzee.

My kids also love the game of chips, though not a card game. We love RS games too, all the ones mentioned are favorites in my house as well. My kids particularly like swim to 10. Such a basic game, but I think they like it b/c we use coins instead of tokens :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
