How the game works:

1. Print out the number cards or number sentence cards (depending on what skills you want your students to work on)
2. Print the accompanying answer boards and your students are ready to play. This game can be played independently, or with 2– 3 players.
3. Players take turns to flip over a card and try to spot the number or answer on the gameboard. Once found, they cover the answer with a counter on the gameboard and place their card in the discard pile. If students can’t find the answer, they turn the card back over and the next player takes a turn.
4. The winner is the person with the most counters on the game board.
