A New Math Game

We learned a new math game called T-Ball Addition.  We're not really sure why it is called that!  It was a game that helped us practice our place value skills.  To play you take playing cards from Ace to 4 (the ace is worth one).  Each player takes 4 cards and makes 2 two digit numbers.  The object of the game is to  make the biggest sum possible.  If you make the biggest sum you get one point.  The first one to get 6 tally points wins!  Some kids challenged themselves and made 3 digit numbers.Graham and Leif had the idea to add all their answers up and see who had the biggest sum overall.  They used a calculator to help them.

 

Have you ever played a math game with cards?
