Class Maths Game
Add or Subtract
This week we have a great card came that will have participants practicing their numeracy skills of addition and subtraction.
What you need:
Deck of cards
Record Sheet
Two to four players
INSTRUCTIONS
The aim of the game is to have the highest total after 20 rounds.
Design a record sheet for each player.
Take out the jokers and picture cards from a regular deck of cards and then shuffle the pack. (ACE = 1)
Each player starts with 15 points.
Player 1 begins by taking a card from the top of the pack and will add or subtract depending on the value and colour of the card they picked.
The RED cards require players to SUBTRACT the value shown and the BLACK cards require players to ADD the value shown.
Players will take it in turns to draw a card and record the calculation and work out their running total.
Repeat this process until everybody has gone 20 times. (If you run out of cards, then just shuffle the pack again)
At the end of 20 rounds, the person with the highest total wins!
EXTENSIONS:
The picture cards may be added to the deck by assigning the following values:
Jack = 11
Queen = 12
King = 13
