Start with a target number such as 20.Subtract the 1-digit from the 2-digit to work on mental math with larger numbers. Turn over 2 cards to make a 2-digit number, and then turn over 1 card.For grades 6 and higher, this is a great game to play for understanding operations of positive and negative numbers. For example, if they turn over a 4 and 6, make sure they subtract 6-4=2. For students in grades K-5, have them use the larger digit first. Each player turns over 2 cards to find the difference between the numbers. Subtraction War: Deal the entire deck to all players. Turn over 3 cards and find the sum (this is appropriate for 1st grade and higher).Choose a target number, such as 12 the player with the sum closest to the target number wins the round.The player with the lowest sum wins the round and takes all the cards.The player with the most cards at the end wins. The player with the higher sum wins and takes all 4 cards repeat this until all the cards are gone. Each player turns over 2 cards to find the sum (emphasize this language!). Always emphasize important math language and enjoy watching your children learn!Īddition War: Deal the entire deck to all players. You can use store-bought flashcards to play these games, a regular deck of cards (only use the digits 1 – 9), or make your own deck with index cards. Math War is a fun and easy way to get them to work on their facts daily or weekly. With all our children getting back into the school routine, it's so important that we provide time for them to work on their number facts to gain automaticity no matter what level they are at.
#FIRST GRADE GREATER THAN LESS THAN EQUAL TO GAME HOW TO#
So many of my students love the game that I wanted to write about how to use it for several different areas of math.
I have written before about Multiplication War.
