Deck-O-Card Math

This week we have been using our BRAINS!!!
Depending on grade level, we have to multiply, add, and subtract in order to reach the magic number of 201! Where do they get the numbers to X, +, and - you ask?  Well easy....a deck of cards!
For the upper elementary, this has been a lot of fun.  A lot of thinking is taking place.  Do we multiply the 10 and 10....or the 7 and 3?  How many more do we need?   If we go to 184 it might be easier than if we are at 197....

For the Kindergarten, we are working on 10 friends.  We find our friends that help us make 10.  We also have some fun with cards on our foreheads!!  At the end of the day, we are learning and having fun...two of my favorite things! :)
