Math Games with a

Deck of Cards

Games to play at home

to practice math skills

Multiplication/Division Chart

Tips for playing math card games:

You can play with a regular deck of

cards. Some games may need numbers

higher than one, so you can assign values

to the Ace, King, Queen, Jack and Joker

for more numbers.

To make a game harder, try adding zeros

to answers to make it fact “extensions”.

For example, 4 x 8 could become 40 x

80.

Uno cards work as well! Look around

your house and see what kind of

numbered cards you have already. If

not, most dollar stores carry inexpensive

decks of cards.

Place Value War

Players 2

Materials: Deck of cards with face cards and

10s removed, Ace worth one

How to Play: Turn over 1, 2 or 3 cards. Place

them in any position to make the highest

number possible. The higher number wins all

of the cards for that turn. Try asking your

child to compare the numbers out loud.

“365 is greater than 243”

Player 1 wins all six cards.

Increase the number of cards to flip if you want to

work on larger numbers.

I Spy

Players 2

Materials: Deck of cards, face cards worth

ten, Ace worth 1 or 11.

How to Play: Deal out the entire deck of cards in a

13 x 4 array. (Example shown not all cards)

Find two cards next to each other, vertically or

horizontally, that add to make a number. “I spy two

cards with a sum of 10”. You can also play the game

with multiplication, “I spy two cards with a product of

40”.

The other player looks for two cards that multiply to

make the sum or product and removes them. After

many turns, the array can be reformed to continue

play.

Sort it

Players 2

Materials: Deck of cards

How to Play: Pick a way to sort the cards

(color, suit, or numbers). Deal out the deck

and players take turns finding cards that fit

their sort. Look for creative ways to sort;

even numbers, odd numbers, two cards with a

sum of 10, etc.

Addition Top-It

Players 2



How to Play: Each player turns over two

cards and adds them together. The player

with the greatest sum wins all the cards.

Continue until all the cards are gone.

2 + 10 = 12 5 + 5 = 10

Player 1 wins all four cards.

Make the game easier by taking higher digit cards out

of the deck. Make the game harder by add 3 cards.

Make it BIG

Players 2

Materials: Deck of cards with the 10s

removed, Ace worth 1, scratch paper

How to Play: Draw a game board like the one

shown. Deal 6 cards to each player. Try to create the

largest number possible. Players must think carefully

about where to place a card. Once placed, a card

cannot be moved.

____ ____, ____ ____ ____

Each player flips over one card at a time and decides

where to place it to form the largest number possible.

All 6 cards must have a place!

____ ____, ____ ____ ____ is 98,574

The player with the largest number wins.

Trash Can

Hit the Target

Players 2



How to Play: Lay out five cards face up. Then

choose one additional card to be the target number.

You may add, subtract, multiply or divide to hit the

target number. Try to use all five cards, but you must

use at least 2 cards. Winner takes the cards in the

equation, plus the target number.

Target number is

A player could choose: 5 – 2 or 8 – 5

or 10 – 5 – 2 or 5 x 2 – 7 Look for more ways!

Subtraction Top-It

Players 2




cards and subtracts the smaller digit from the

larger digit. The player with the smallest

difference wins all the cards. Continue until

all the cards are gone.

7 - 2 = 5 9 – 5 = 4



of the deck. Make the game harder by playing with 2-

digit - 1-digit subtraction.

Give Me 10

Players 2

Materials: Deck of cards, face cards

removed, Ace worth one.

How to Play: Deal 10 cards face up.

Players take turns finding and removing combinations

of cards that add up to 10.

Deal out cards so there are always 10 cards face up.

To make it challenging, find three cards that add up

to a target number (3 numbers that add up to 20).

Multiplication Top-It

Players 2




cards and multiplies to get a product. The

player with the largest product wins all the

cards. Continue until all the cards are gone.

4 x 10 = 40 3 x 6 = 18



of the deck. Make the game harder by playing with 2-

digit x 1-digit multiplication.

Name that Number

Materials: 4 cards each of numbers 0-10 and 1 card each of numbers 11-20

Number of Players: 3 or 4

A player shuffles the deck and places five cards face-up on the playing

surface. This player leaves the rest of the deck face down and then turns

over and lays down the top card from the deck. The number on this card is

the number to be named.

In turn, players try to (re)name the number on the set-apart top card by

adding or subtracting the numbers on two of the five face-up cards.

A successful player takes both the two face-up cards and the

number-named top card. A successful player also replaces those three

cards by drawing from the top of the facedown deck. Unsuccessful players

lose their turns. But they turn over and lay down the top card from the

facedown deck, and the number on this card becomes the new number to

be named.

Play continues until all facedown cards have been turned over. The player

who has taken the most cards at the end wins.

Example:

Mae's turn:

The number to be named is 6. It may be named with 4+2, 8-2, or 10-4.

Mae selects 4+2. She takes the 4, 2, and 6 cards. She replaces the 4 and 2

cards with the top two cards from the facedown deck and then turns over

and lays down the next card to replace the 6.

Mike's Turn:

The new number to be named is 16. Mike can't find two cards with which to

name 16, so he loses his turn. He also turns over the next card from the

facedown deck and places it on top of 16, and the number on this card

becomes the new number to be named.

Play continues as before.

Game Variations: If children are finding the game difficult, increase the

number of face-up cards.

Use any combinations of two or more numbers and all operations. For

example, Mike could have named 16 as follows:

10+7-1

10+12-7+1

8+12-10+7-1

Children can experiment by using different numbers of face-up cards.
