Sequencing 1 Shuffle the cards and place in a pile with the numbers facing down. Order the cards from 0 to 11. How fast can you do this? Time yourself. Who can do it the fastest?! Then Order the cards from 11 to 0. Time yourself. Who can do it the fastest? Addition Shuffle the cards and place in a pile with the numbers facing down. Place one card face up. Next to that card place another card face up. Add the two numbers together. Continue by turning the next 2 cards over and adding again. What strategy did you use to solve this? Is there another strategy that would have worked? Subtraction 2 Shuffle the cards and place in a pile with the numbers facing down. Choose a target number that you will use to subtract from and write it on paper. Place one card face up next to the number. Subtract that number from the number on the paper. Continue by changing the target number on the paper and start again. 2 Digit Numbers Spread the cards out (numbers showing). Create a 2 digit numbers using the following criteria: Smaller than 20, or Between 10 and 50, or Larger than 50, etc. Make up your own criteria to follow. Snap For two or more players. Shuffle two sets of number cards. Share evenly between players. Place face down in a pile in front of each player. Take it in turns to turn over a card and place on a pile in the centre. If two consecutive cards match. The first player to slap the pile saying “snap” wins and adds the whole pile to the bottom of their pile. What’s my number? Spread the cards out (numbers showing). Player 1 creates a number using the cards without showing the player 2. Using the clues of the remaining numbers and asking questions, player 2 guesses what the hidden number is. You can extend this activity by removing the remaining cards from view and limiting the number of questions. Doubles Shuffle the cards and place in a pile with the numbers facing down. Turn the top card over and double the number. Use concrete materials if needed. E.g. buttons, dried beans. Turn the next card over and repeat. Go through the whole pack of number cards. 2 and 3 Digit Numbers Using your cards make: *a number smaller than 10 *a number larger than 25 *a number larger than 100 Subtraction 1 Use the 10 card (put the 11 aside). Shuffle the remaining cards and place in a pile with the numbers facing down. Take the top card and subtract it from 10. Doubles +1 Shuffle the cards and place in a pile with the numbers facing down. Turn one over and use instant recall to find the double. Then add 1 more. Sequencing 2 Shuffle the cards and place in a pile with the numbers facing down. Order the cards in two rows. One row even numbers, one row odd numbers How fast can you do this? Time yourself. Who can do it the fastest? Memory For two or more players. Spread two sets of cards face down on the floor or table. Take it in turns to turn over two cards. Say the numbers. If the two numbers are a matching pair, they are removed and that player has another turn.
