Skills Addressed with These Math Card Games:

Primary Academic Skills:

• Place value and digit value through millions and decimals
• Multiplication and division fact fluency
• Comparing fractions, decimals, and whole numbers
• Greater than, less than, and equal to practice
• Fraction sense and number relationships
  

Secondary Skills (SEL and Executive Function):

• Turn-taking and game etiquette
• Focused attention and memory recall
• Growth mindset through repeated play and challenge
• Math confidence and cooperative learning
• Flexible thinking and visual discrimination
  

How to Play the Math Card Games:

Each math topic (decimal place value, large number place value, multiplication, division, and fractions) follows a simple War-style format:

1. Deal the Cards: Split the deck evenly between 2 players (or 2 teams).
2. Flip and Compare: Players flip the top card and compare the values.
3. Win the Round: The higher value wins and takes the cards.
4. It’s a War: If there’s a tie, players go to “battle” by flipping 3 face-down and 1 face-up card.
5. Keep Playing: Game continues until time is up or one player wins all the cards.
   

Each individual game includes topic-specific rules (ex: how to compare fractions or decimals) and built-in scaffolds for differentiation.

How and Where to Use:

• Math centers and guided groups:
  These hands-on math card games are perfect for small group instruction or rotating math stations, offering engaging practice with multiplication, division, place value, fractions, and decimals.
  
• Early finishers and skill stations:
  Keep your fast finishers learning with independent partner games that build fluency, reinforce key math skills, and reduce downtime between lessons.
  
• Morning tubs or warm-ups:
  Start your math block with a high-interest activity by using these printable games as morning work to review math facts and sharpen number sense.
  
• RTI and math intervention:
  Target specific skill gaps with differentiated War-style card decks that allow students to repeatedly practice and master the concepts they struggle with most (decimal place value, large number place value, multiplication, division, and fractions).
  
• Special education and homeschool:
  Support diverse learning needs with visual, tactile, and repetition-based games that make abstract concepts like fractions, decimals, and place value easier to understand.
  
• Review before assessments:
  Use the math games for spiral review or test prep to refresh math concepts across domains in a low-stress, student-friendly format.
  
• Engaging sub day activities:
  Leave behind a no-prep, high-engagement math center that keeps students practicing academic skills (decimal place value, large number place value, multiplication, division, and fractions) even when you're away.
  
• Small group tutoring or independent partner practice:
  Use these math card games to boost engagement during tutoring sessions or allow students to work in pairs to build fluency and peer-supported problem solving.

Standards Alignment
