After the success of the first Maths Games with School Friendly Cards book, here is a follow up book with new ideas and activities. The games in this book use a single deck of School Friendly cards (not included and sold separately) and are based around simple rules. It can be played in 10 minutes and may be used routinely as part of a warm up program.
The activities are based around simple rules, and may be used routinely as part of a warm up program. Recording sheets have been provided for some games so that teachers have the opportunity to assess student learning. Tips are provided for gaining the most from these short simple sessions.
Topics include basic number facts: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division along with place value. Suggestions are given for making the game a little easier or a little harder. While this book is focused on building fluency, tips are provided to help students reason about the strategies and mathematics behind the games. Links to the Australian maths curriculum are included in the book. The book is suitable for years 1 to 4.
