Mixed equations to 20:
*These are some decent games found on the Launch Zone...
Games to work on facts with 10:
-Pyramid (Similar to Eleven Up)
Use a regular deck of cards and remove face cards. Build a pyramid starting from the top and working your way down so the cards overlap each other and you have 6 cards in the bottom row. The remaining cards are kept face down in a pile. The goal is to make combinations of 10. Only cards that are "open" or "unlocked" can be used. (That's why it's important for the cards to be overlapped while building the pyramid, so it's easy to see which ones are still covered and which ones are open.) If there are any open sets of 10 that are open on the pyramid, a player can take those and play goes to the next person. If there are no combinations, a player turns over a card from the deck in hopes of getting a card that can be used with one in the pyramid. If not, play proceeds to the next person. After all cards from the deck have been flipped once and there are no more combinations, the game is over. The goal is to work together to see if they can try to take down the whole pyramid. *This game can also be played solo.
Games to work on mixed number combinations to 20:
-Close to 20 (or 10) Card Game
-Double Compare/Triple Compare
Similar to "War," the deck is split into equal piles to start. All players say, "1,23...flip" and flip over 2 of the cards from their pile. Add the cards to see who flipped the highest number. That person wins all the cards in that round. When your pile runs out, continue to play with your "winnings" until only one person ends up with all the cards. (For Triple Compare, flip over 3 cards each turn.)Games to work on place value and numbers to 100:
-Close to 100 Card Game
-Guess My Number
Pick a number from1-100 (or a smaller range if 100 is too hard for your child). As in twenty questions, your child tries asking yes or no questions to figure out your number. The goal is to figure out the number in as few questions as possible. Let your child look at a 100 chart to help them.

-Roll the Biggest Number
You need something to record on (paper or whiteboard) and a die. Start by having each
player draw three lines and a trash can.
___ ___ ___ TRASH ____ (I couldn't draw a box here.)
Roll the die and each person decides where they’d like to put the number. Either in the trash, hundreds place, tens place, or the ones place. The object is to roll the biggest number. Once a number is placed it cannot be moved. After rolling four times and getting your numbers, decide who won. Then, talk about what the biggest number could have been with the four digits. Did anyone get it? What would be the smallest number that could be made?

Games to work on a specific number combination from 4-10:
Ex. Working on facts to 8 would be: 5 + 3, 4+4, 6+2, 10-6, 8-4, etc.
-Turn Over __
Use the number cards. Have your child pick a number from their range card (or pick the number 10) to work on. Then take out all the cards above that number. (If working on 7, take out cards 8-10.) As in “Memory” or “Concentration,” set up all the cards in a grid-like formation facing down. Establish which number will be the number for the game. Then take turns flipping over two cards in order to find combinations that reach that number. If you get a match, you get an extra turn. Game is over when there are no more matches to be made. The winner is the person with the most cards.
-Go Fish
Use the number cards. Have your child pick a number from their range card (or pick the number 10) to work on. Then take out all the cards above that number. (If working on 7, take out cards 8-10.) Then deal five cards to each player and place the extras in a pile. If you have matches (combinations of your number) place them aside. Continue by asking each other if anyone has a number that you may need to make another combination. If they have the card, you make a match and your turn ends. If they don’t have a match, they respond with “Go Fish” and you pick a card from the pile. The game ends when someone matches all their cards.
-Let’s Pretend
Using numbers that are on your child’s range card, ask them questions about things involving those numbers. For example: “Let’s pretend you found six cookies and gave two to me. How many would you have left?” “Let’s pretend you had two Webkinz and you want six. How many more would you need?” Play around with it and be as silly as you like!
-Story Problems
Similar to “Let’s Pretend, only you can be as creative as you’d like. Work with number facts to 10 or increase to larger numbers and work with place value. (“If I had 38 Hershey kisses and Mrs. Layton ate 10 of them, how many more would I have left?” “If Sarah gives her dog, Riley, two dog biscuits every day, how many will he have eaten by the end of the week?”)
-Cave Game
Get a bunch of like-objects like pennies, dried beans, paper clips, etc. Have your child pick a number from their range card to work on and count out that number of objects. Take turns having one person close their eyes while the other person hides some of the objects in their hand, “or cave.” Then the guesser opens their eyes to see how many objects are left and reveals how many must be hiding in the cave.
-Grab Bag
Same as Cave Game, only the objects are hidden in a paper bag instead of a hand.
-Tub Game
Same as the Cave Game, only the objects are hidden beneath a cup or bowl. And yes, the games are just different enough to hold your child’s interest!
Games to work on coins and money:
-Scoop of coins
Take a handful of mixed coins and have your child sort them. Have them tell you the name and value of the coins. If they can easily do this, ask them to help you figure out how much of each coin your have. Which group has the highest amount?
-Coins in the Pocket
Level 1- Identification
“I have a coin in my pocket. Ask me yes or no questions that will help you determine which
coin I have.
Level 2- Identifying coins by value
“ I have $0.17. Ask me questions that will help you guess which coins are in my pocket.”
Level 3- Identifying coins and quantities
“I have 3 coins in my pocket. Ask me yes or no questions to figure out which coins I have and then figure out how much money that is.”
-Missing Coins
Leave some coins around the house. If your child finds them and can tell you how much it is, then they can keep the coins.
Other Board or Card Games:
Regular Card Games:
-Garbage (Youtube video)
Deal 10 cards to each player, put the remaining cards in the middle. Organize the cards in a ten frame style- two rows of 5, facedown. The goal is to get a sequence of 10 cards in order, starting with the Ace. On your turn, take or pick up a card that you need to complete your sequence. As you place down the cards you need, pick up and look at the card that was in its place (the ones still facedown). If you can use it, play it! If not, discard it and your turn is over.
In our version- Aces =1, Jacks= Wild, Queens/Kings= Lose a turn. The video link above shows Kings being wild.
