Addition Top It!
Here's another great way to study your math facts.
This game is a lot like the traditional game of War, but uses two cards that are added together to find a sum.
Addition Top-It
Materials: Card deck with only the number cards 0-10 (4 of each)
Players: 2 to 4 people
Directions:
1. Shuffle the cards and place the deck face down on the playing surface.
2. Each player turns over two cards and calls out the sum of the numbers.
3. The player with the highest sum wins the round and takes all the flipped over cards.
4. In case of a tie (a war) for the highest sum, each tied player turns over two more cards and calls out the sum of the two cards. The player with the highest sum then takes all the cards from both plays.
5. The game ends when not enough cards are left for each player to have another turn.
6. The player who has the most cards wins.
I encourage you to play this often for short periods of time. It will truly help your child with their addition facts!
