Purpose:
You can help your child to practice ordering numbers in the range 0-100.
What you need:
Pack of cards. Ace = 1, remove the 10 and the picture cards.
What to do:
Shuffle the cards and place face down in a pile. Player A takes the top 2 cards and arranges them to make a number. For example, the cards 3 and 7 can be arranged to make 37 or 73. Player B then nominates whether they will make a number smaller or bigger than player A’s number. They then select 2 cards and make a number. If it is the nominated size (bigger or smaller) compared to player A then B wins a point, if not then player A wins the point.
Players then swap roles with player B making a number first.
The winner is the first player to score 10 points.
What to expect your child to do:
To be able to compare the size of two numbers in the range 0-100.
Variation:
- Both player take 2 cards, and each makes a number, the biggest number wins a point.
- Use 3 cards and extend the range to 100-1000.
