A deck of cards is a wonderful tool to teach math. We play war, go fish and garbage to help teach numbers and number sense.

I have never thought about using cards to help play games with the younger children to see if they are comprehending what they have been taught about the sequence of numbers and the identification of them. This is definitely something that I am going to suggest we do very soon. The article was a great reminder of the massive amount of everyday items or tools we have around us that can be used for teaching.

A deck of cards would be a good item to use. The size of everything would be uniform and easy for preschoolers to see.

A couple of decks of cards would be more fun.
Hiding and finding them can also work. Start adding the numbers for higher functions.
Chart how many of each number was found.

In reply to Lamont Jackson. Great ideas, Lamont! Anytime we can mix movement with our kids, the results are fast and fun! Thanks for sharing!

There are so many opportunities that you can get from a deck of cards. One that I found most effective is using a deck of cards to play sequence. This enriched the quantity and number symbol connection. Another bridge over content areas involve assigning movements to different suits and performing the movements as they randomly are drawn. The kids get active physically while also developing mentally stronger in Math.

Great way to use the numbers on the cards! I like comparing the numbers, which is larger smaller less than more than how many more…

I used a deck of playing cards for the number of letters in the child’s first name. I would spread the playing cards and their name cards on the carpet during center time. To choose their area of choice, they would count the letters in their first name and choose the correct number on the playing card that matches the number of letters in their name. Name and recognition. Counting.

you can use the cards in many ways. It’s fun and the children will be learning at the same time
