This week we are using a deck of playing cards in math centers. Cards are some of my FAVORITE math tools. They are a fairly common household items and are great for first grade mathematics!

1. Number Order- pick 3-6 cards and order them from least to greatest. To make it a challenge race the other players to see who is fastest.
2. Sort- see how many different ways you can sort a deck of cards, you'll be amazed at the possibilities!
3. Addition and Subtraction- pick 2 cards to add or subtract. Play with a partner to see who can add and subtract the fastest
4. Battle- played with 2 players. Each player flips over a card at the same time. The higher card wins. Play till one player has ALL the cards!
5. Patterns- create a pattern using colors, suits, or numbers.
