                  2 Really Fun card games to help you with your maths

1.Facts of Ten

  • Play the ‘Tens’ Card Game using a deck of cards with picture cards removed. Ace is worth 1

Instructions: This is a game for two players. The winner is the first person to get rid of all of their cards, by adding pairs of numbers that make ten. Deal ten cards to each player. The remaining cards are left in a pile, face down, in the middle of the table. To begin, each player removes any pairs of their cards that add up to 10, for example, 9 and ace, 4 and 6 etc. from their own ten cards. They state the ten fact and place the cards face up on the table, so their opponent can see them. With their remaining cards they must ask their opponent for cards that will complete their pairs to make 10. For example, if they are left with a 2, 7 and 6, at each turn they will ask their opponent for either an 8, 3 or 4. If their opponent does not have the card the player must take a card from the pile on the table. If their opponent does have the required card, they give it to the other player who then places the pair of cards making ten, face up, on the table, stating the ten fact. The winner is the first person who gets rid of all their cards.

2.Adding Snap

  • Deck of playing cards. Ace is worth 1, picture cards are worth 10,
  • Number of Players: 3 (one acts as referee)

Divide all the cards equally between both players. The referee calls counts down ‘3, 2, 1, Turn!’ and both players turn over one card each and place it on the table. The first player to add both cards correctly and call out the answer gets the cards. For example, King + 3 = 13. The winner is the first person to win all the cards or the person with most cards after a period of time. The referee ensures fairness in relation to cards being placed on time by both players.
