Mathematics Games with School Friendly Cards Book 1 & 2
Designed to help young children learn key early number concepts while playing simple card games, Book 1 will give you plenty of ideas to use School Friendly Playing Cards for a wide range of mathematical activities.
Playing cards is a popular pastime for children and adults alike. Young children enjoy playing card games but sometimes are confused by all of the extraneous information depicted on a standard playing card. They sometimes have difficulty remembering the difference between clubs and spades - if they can even remember their names! They may not remember whether a Jack is of higher value than a Queen or King. Acre Aces high (11) or (1)?
When using cards to develop fluency in mathematics, these issues can prove a distraction and irritation to children, hence the development of these simpler, child-friendly cards.
