Basic Fact Practice
Simply lay down two cards from the deck and add or subtract. You can work on this alone, or you can make it a contest to see who can call out the correct answer first.
Pyramid
Try to find cards that add up to 10 as you clear your pyramid row by row.
Addition/ Subtraction Number Battle
Player split a deck of cards and simultaneously flip over their top two cards. The highest sum wins all four cards. If the cards sum have the same value, the cards are placed in a center pile. The next hand is played normally and the winner of the next addition number battle takes the center pile as well.
​
Subtraction: The greatest difference wins all four cards.
​
Modification - Multi-digit: Players split a deck or cards and simultaneously flip over the top three (or four) cards. The highest sum (or difference for subtraction) wins all six (or eight) cards.
Close Call
To play Close Call, each player deals themselves four cards then determines how to arrange them so they make two two digit numbers that add up close to 100 without going over. For a subtraction version, work to get as close to zero as possible.
Make 10
One of the terrific things about math card games is they can be modified. The original is to find two cards that add up to 10 but it can be changed to 15, 20 or any number you choose.
