Addition
Playing Games
Quick to Pick
This game can be played with three or more participants. One player acts as host, and the other players are contestants. Each contestant should have a playing piece, such as a small toy, a coin, or an eraser. The host selects three flash cards and looks at the correct answer of one of them. Then the host places the three flash cards down in front of the contestants, at an equal distance from each contestant. The host calls out the correct answer of one of the flash cards, and the first contestant to correctly place his or her playing piece on the flash card showing the equation that leads to the correct answer wins the card. The contestant with the most cards at the end wins. The host can increase the number of flash cards to choose from in each round to make the game more challenging.
Bean Bag Facts
This game can be played with multiple participants. Lay out flash cards on the ground with the answer sides down. Find a bean bag, and toss the bean bag onto the flash cards. Solve the equation on the card on which the bean bag landed. If you get it right, keep the card. Take turns with other players until all of the cards have been solved. The player with the most cards wins.
Flash Card Finish Line
This game can be played with multiple participants. Set up markers on the ground, such as pieces of tape, tiles, scrap paper, or pencils, to create a path with a finish line. All players should begin at the first marker. Each player takes turns answering flash card equations. If a player answers one correctly, he or she moves forward to the next marker. The player to reach the finish line first wins.
Fact Finder
Ask a partner to hide flash cards in a room while you are not looking. Then, try to find them. When you find one card, you must solve it correctly before moving on to find the next card. Put on a timer for an extra challenge. Once you have found and solved all of the cards or the timer runs out, switch with your partner and play again.
Tic Tac Toe
This game can be played with a partner. Each player should place nine flash cards in a grid, three rows of three cards each, with the answer sides down. Take turns solving one equation in your grid at a time. If you get it right, flip the card over. Try to get three in a row for tic tac toe.
Board Game Plus
Enhance any board game with flash cards. Before each turn, the player must correctly solve a flash card equation. If he or she gets it right, the turn progresses as normal. If he or she gets it wrong, the turn passes to the next player.
Learning Tips
- Take it slow at first. Students may need assistance in learning how to use flash cards to test their skills.
- Offer help when needed. If a student is stuck on a particular flash card, provide the answer before the student becomes too frustrated.
- Take flash cards with you on the go. Waiting in line, sitting in the car, going to an appointment-these are all excellent opportunities for practice time.
- Keep it short and fun. Students learn over time, so they will benefit more from periodic short practice sessions than one long session.
- Customize your approach to accommodate your student's learning style. For instance, kinesthetic students might enjoy tossing a ball back and forth between each flash card. Auditory students might enjoy creating songs out of the flash cards.
- Use the Math Friendzy app for more engaging practice. Doing drills on a computer or tablet helps students learn in an interactive online environment.
