  • Math Games with a deck of playing cards:
    • Flip and Add to 100This simple math game uses a standard deck of playing cards (take out the face cards or assign them values, like 1 or 10). Players draw a card and add it to their running total, trying to be the first to reach 100 without going over. Increase the difficulty level by having players draw two cards and add them together, then add the sum to their total.  
    • Flip and Subtract from 100: Instead of adding to 100, this game starts at 100 and players draw a card and subtract from 100, trying to be the first to reach zero.
