Looking for simple and fun math card games to engage your learners? This list includes a huge variety, organized by skill, will help you find a "just right" game to practice math skills. And the best part? All you need is a simple deck of cards and perhaps some dice!
A great way to engage kids who would otherwise loathe math practice (and also just a fun way for anyone to review important skills!) is to play a game. My son has a hard time getting motivated to do school work, but he is always more excited and engaged when I turn whatever we're doing into a game. Here you will find some of my favorite math card games, organized by topic!
*Please Note: Some of the links in this post are affiliate links and help support the work of this site. Read our full disclosure here.*
Benefits of Math Card Games:

Sometimes, board games can be cumbersome, have a lot of pieces, or require a lot of money. One thing you can always use that is easy, portable and cheap is a simple deck of playing cards . Just one set of cards can be used for countless games! And if you have two decks, it just adds to the challenge!

To help you, I have been searching for awhile to find the best math card games and round them up into one giant post so you can find something for virtually any math skill! I hope you find something just right for your kids!

And if you don't have time to wade through this list, grab my "quick start" set with 15 different simple and fun math games, sent right to your inbox!

20+ of The BEST Math Card Games:

Sorting & Counting Card Games:

Helping young kids learn how to sort and count can be fun with a deck of cards. Although you probably don't even need formal games, here are a few ideas to get you started.

Fan Tan (with multiple variations) - 2+ players (best with 4-6 players)

Builder's Paradise (number sequencing)- 2+ players

Counting On - 1+ players

Here are some other simple ideas for letting your kids learn counting and sequencing through play:

Let your kids sort the deck by suit. Then have them put each suit in order from least to greatest.

Have your kids draw 5 cards. Then ask them to put them in order from least to greatest, or sort them between "less than 5" or "greater than 5".

Let your kids gather and sort a collection of various objects into piles (such as pennies, stuffed animals, cups, marbles, etc.). Then let them use cards to label each pile with "how many" are in each stack.

Addition & Subtraction Card Games:

What kids couldn't use some extra practice with addition or subtraction? These are such essential math facts to master and grow in confidence that having a deck of cards handy is a simple way to review. There's a wide variety of games listed below, so check them out and figure out which ones are your favorites!!

Pyramid - 1+ players (Found in Games for Math by Peggy Kaye)

Close Call (adding 2-digit numbers and mental math) - 2-4 payers

Addition War (and so many variations, your kids can practice math skills from Kindergarten through high school!) - 2 players

Once Through the Deck - 1 player

Blackjack Math - 2+ players

Gain or Loss - 2-4 players

Make Ten - 2+ players (This is also found in Games for Math )

Triple Digit Dare- 2+ players (easily adapted)

Prime Numbers Card Game:

Prime Number Challenge - 2+ players

Fractions and Decimals Card Games:

My Closest Neighbor - 2-4 players

Fraction Flip It (multiplying fractions) - 3-5 players

Make a Buck- 2-4 players (adding decimals)

Fun Multiplication Card Games:

Just like addition & subtraction, multiplication facts are so important and require lots of practice and review before kids gain mastery. These math card games are easy to set up and play again and again.

Spiral is especially useful because you rebuild the game board each time, so every game is different!

Spiral- 2+ players ( can also be adapted to practice addition or subtraction)

Integer Flash (multiplication with integers) - 2 players

Once Through the Deck - 1 player

Practice Exponent:

Exponent Battle - 2 players

Summer learning is so critical, especially for students who are already struggling. I've been working with a peer tutoring group this year (5th graders tutoring 3rd graders), and I wanted to give them a gift for completing the program. I bought each of the students a deck of cards, and my idea was to create a booklet to give them containing instructions for easy math games they could play using the cards. In scouring the Internet for ideas, I came across the website of an organization called the Positive Engagement Project (PEP). It's a nonprofit organization whose mission is "To get students positively engaged in active learning, while getting ourselves and others positively engaged with schools and communities."

On their website, they have a downloadable booklet called . It is 69 pages of games, for grades K though 6, that can be played with a standard deck of cards. It's an amazing resource.

I still had the booklet idea in my head, and I wanted to choose games that would be appropriate for 3rd through 5th graders, so I reformatted a selection of games from their e-book and made them into a booklet format. Of course I included a credit and link to their website. You can download my booklet format . You'll need to copy it double-sided and then fold and staple it. Be sure to visit PEP's website for other great resources and spread the word!

I hope you are having a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! I'm finishing up a little project for school. We are putting together summer learning bags for our kiddos to take home over the summer, and we're putting a pair of dice in each bag. Last week I shared a little booklet I made for playing math games with a deck of cards. Well, I made a companion booklet for a pair of dice! To assemble the booklet, you'll need to copy the sheets two-sided, fold them as a booklet, and staple. The link is below the pictures. Enjoy!

In my first classroom, I was gifted with buckets of dominoes from the previous teacher. The students loved to line them up, create intricate designs, and watch them fall! It would bring lots of laughs and screams during indoor recess or free time. But besides that I had no interest or ideas for including them in our learning. Boy was I wrong!!!

As I started developing math centers and creating stations to develop number sense and numeracy, I realized the importance of varying manipulatives. I always used cards and dice but wanted to find more. That's when I turned to dominoes! Below are some ideas to increase number sense using dominoes:

1. Number Recognition: Subitizing is an important skill for young children to develop. When students subitize, they are seeing a number visually (for example: a dot representation) and connecting it to the numerical value. Dominoes are a great way for young children to "see" numbers. It can be as simple as showing one side of a domino, having children count the dots, recreate the dot representation on paper and write the numerical value. Focusing on how they know the dots represent a 3 without counting each dot is important. Having them see patterns as numbers get bigger makes the math fun and develops a deep understanding of what numbers are.

2. Place Value: Turn one domino over to represent a 2-digit number. Children decide which number they want to create. For example; a domino that has a 3 and 7 could either be 37 or 73 depending on which way you hold the domino. Ask place-value questions about either number, such as How many tens are in 73? or How many ones? They can practice writing the number in different ways: word form, standard form, and expanded form. As children get older, line dominoes up end to end to create 4- or 6-digit numbers to increase place-value understanding.

3. Comparing: Building on the number sense theme, children can compare numbers using just 1 domino. Turn over a domino and have your child compare 2 numbers verbally or in written form. So if the domino is a 4 and 1, a child could compare saying "41 is greater than 14" or "14 is less than 41." To push your children even more, ask them to prove their answer: " I know 41 is greater than 14 because 41 has 4 tens and 14 has only 1 ten." Encouraging "math talk" is very important!

4. Ordering Numbers: The age of your child will depend on the number of dominoes that is appropriate for him or her to order. I would start with 3 dominoes and increase gradually from there. Have your child pick 3 dominoes and determine which numbers they will be (refer to the place value section), then have him or her order the numbers verbally, in writing or physically with lining the dominoes up. Alternate between ordering the numbers from least to greatest, or greatest to least.
