Integer Card Games

Particularly, with the topic of integers, students REALLY need to be fast and fluent with their facts. Quizzing & drilling constantly is one way to achieve that… however, these games will help break up the monotony and build the solid foundation they will need to be able to keep a good pace with problem solving later on.

1) There are several games to choose from, each a different difficulty & pace.

2) Prepare to take time to explain the rules in detail to make sure students understand how to play.

3) Once students know the rules well, these will be very quick and easy activities any time they need review (constantly), or you need a time filler. Just save/laminate your decks of cards and pull them out when needed!

Most games are geared towards fluency in find the sum of two integers, but some can be played by also finding the product of two integers.
