Task 4:

Closest to….

Watch the video with Ms. Watts to see how to play!

Supplies needed:

A pack of playing cards with the 10’s and face cards removed. Aces is valued at 1.

How to play:

Select the number of digits to be in the numbers for this game. For example, you could work with 2-digit, 3-digit, or 3 digit numbers.
If you are going to work with 3 digit numbers, each person is dealt 3 cards.
The aim of the game is to make a number as close as possible to 50 if making 2-digit number, 500 if making 3-digit numbers or 5000 if making 4-digit numbers.
The players arrange their card to make a number as close as possible to 50, 500 or 5000.
The player with the closest number for that round keeps the cards they were dealt.
The game ends when there are not enough cards to deal out. The winner is the player who has collected the most cards.

Task 5:

Flip 3

Watch the video with Ms. Watts to see how to play.

Supplies needed:

A pack of playing cards with the face cards removed. Aces is valued at 1.

Place the cards face down in rows.
Players take turns to flip over 3 cards and attempt to make an equation using the 3 cards. The equation can be addition or subtraction. For example, 3+5=8, 6-2=4
If the player can make an equation, they keep the cards. If they can’t make an equation, the cards are flipped back over and remain in the same place.
Keep playing until you can’t make any more equations. The player with the most cards wins!
