Math Games with a
Deck of Cards
Games to play at home
to practice math skills
Multiplication/Division Chart
Tips for playing math card games:
You can play with a regular deck of
cards. Some games may need numbers
higher than one, so you can assign values
to the Ace, King, Queen, Jack and Joker
for more numbers.
To make a game harder, try adding zeros
to answers to make it fact “extensions”.
For example, 4 x 8 could become 40 x
80.
Uno cards work as well! Look around
your house and see what kind of
numbered cards you have already. If
not, most dollar stores carry inexpensive
decks of cards.

Place Value War
Players 2
Materials: Deck of cards with face cards and
10s removed, Ace worth one
How to Play: Turn over 1, 2 or 3 cards. Place
them in any position to make the highest
number possible. The higher number wins all
of the cards for that turn. Try asking your
child to compare the numbers out loud.
“365 is greater than 243”
Player 1 wins all six cards.
Increase the number of cards to flip if you want to
work on larger numbers.
I Spy
Players 2
Materials: Deck of cards, face cards worth
ten, Ace worth 1 or 11.
How to Play: Deal out the entire deck of cards in a
13 x 4 array. (Example shown not all cards)
Find two cards next to each other, vertically or
horizontally, that add to make a number. “I spy two
cards with a sum of 10”. You can also play the game
with multiplication, “I spy two cards with a product of
40”.
The other player looks for two cards that multiply to
make the sum or product and removes them. After
many turns, the array can be reformed to continue
play.
Sort it
Players 2
Materials: Deck of cards
How to Play: Pick a way to sort the cards
(color, suit, or numbers). Deal out the deck
and players take turns finding cards that fit
their sort. Look for creative ways to sort;
even numbers, odd numbers, two cards with a
sum of 10, etc.
Addition Top-It
Players 2
Materials: Deck of cards, face cards worth
ten, Ace worth 1 or 11.
How to Play: Each player turns over two
cards and adds them together. The player
with the greatest sum wins all the cards.
Continue until all the cards are gone.
2 + 10 = 12 5 + 5 = 10
Player 1 wins all four cards.
Make the game easier by taking higher digit cards out
of the deck. Make the game harder by add 3 cards.
Make it BIG
Players 2
Materials: Deck of cards with the 10s
removed, Ace worth 1, scratch paper
How to Play: Draw a game board like the one
shown. Deal 6 cards to each player. Try to create the
largest number possible. Players must think carefully
about where to place a card. Once placed, a card
cannot be moved.
____ ____, ____ ____ ____
Each player flips over one card at a time and decides
where to place it to form the largest number possible.
All 6 cards must have a place!
____ ____, ____ ____ ____ is 98,574
The player with the largest number wins.
Trash Can
Hit the Target
Players 2
Materials: Deck of cards, face cards worth
ten, Ace worth 1 or 11.
How to Play: Lay out five cards face up. Then
choose one additional card to be the target number.
You may add, subtract, multiply or divide to hit the
target number. Try to use all five cards, but you must
use at least 2 cards. Winner takes the cards in the
equation, plus the target number.
Target number is
A player could choose: 5 – 2 or 8 – 5
or 10 – 5 – 2 or 5 x 2 – 7 Look for more ways!
Subtraction Top-It
Players 2
Materials: Deck of cards, face cards worth
ten, Ace worth 1 or 11.
How to Play: Each player turns over two
cards and subtracts the smaller digit from the
larger digit. The player with the smallest
difference wins all the cards. Continue until
all the cards are gone.
7 - 2 = 5 9 – 5 = 4
Player 2 wins all four cards.
Make the game easier by taking higher digit cards out
of the deck. Make the game harder by playing with 2-
digit - 1-digit subtraction.
Give Me 10
Players 2
Materials: Deck of cards, face cards
removed, Ace worth one.
How to Play: Deal 10 cards face up.
Players take turns finding and removing combinations
of cards that add up to 10.
Deal out cards so there are always 10 cards face up.
To make it challenging, find three cards that add up
to a target number (3 numbers that add up to 20).
Multiplication Top-It
Players 2
Materials: Deck of cards, face cards worth
ten, Ace worth 1 or 11.
How to Play: Each player turns over two
cards and multiplies to get a product. The
player with the largest product wins all the
cards. Continue until all the cards are gone.
4 x 10 = 40 3 x 6 = 18
Player 1 wins all four cards.
Make the game easier by taking higher digit cards out
of the deck. Make the game harder by playing with 2-
digit x 1-digit multiplication.
Name that Number
Materials: 4 cards each of numbers 0-10 and 1 card each of numbers 11-20
Number of Players: 3 or 4
A player shuffles the deck and places five cards face-up on the playing
surface. This player leaves the rest of the deck face down and then turns
over and lays down the top card from the deck. The number on this card is
the number to be named.
In turn, players try to (re)name the number on the set-apart top card by
adding or subtracting the numbers on two of the five face-up cards.
A successful player takes both the two face-up cards and the
number-named top card. A successful player also replaces those three
cards by drawing from the top of the facedown deck. Unsuccessful players
lose their turns. But they turn over and lay down the top card from the
facedown deck, and the number on this card becomes the new number to
be named.
Play continues until all facedown cards have been turned over. The player
who has taken the most cards at the end wins.
Example:
Mae's turn:
The number to be named is 6. It may be named with 4+2, 8-2, or 10-4.
Mae selects 4+2. She takes the 4, 2, and 6 cards. She replaces the 4 and 2
cards with the top two cards from the facedown deck and then turns over
and lays down the next card to replace the 6.
Mike's Turn:
The new number to be named is 16. Mike can't find two cards with which to
name 16, so he loses his turn. He also turns over the next card from the
facedown deck and places it on top of 16, and the number on this card
becomes the new number to be named.
Play continues as before.
Game Variations: If children are finding the game difficult, increase the
number of face-up cards.
Use any combinations of two or more numbers and all operations. For
example, Mike could have named 16 as follows:
10+7-1
10+12-7+1
8+12-10+7-1
Children can experiment by using different numbers of face-up cards.
