This book was written to complement the bestselling School Friendly Cards. Designed to help young children learn key early number concepts while playing simple card games, it will give you plenty of ideas for how to use School-Friendly Playing Cards in a wide range of mathematical activities. Playing card games is a popular pastime for children and adults alike. Young children enjoy playing card games, but are sometimes confused by all the extraneous information depicted on a standard playing card. They sometimes have difficulty remembering the difference between clubs and spades – if they can even remember their names! They may not even remember whether a Jack is of higher value than a Queen or King. Are Aces high (11) or (1)? When using cards to develop fluency in mathematics, these issues can prove a distraction and irritation to children, hence the development of the simpler, school/child-friendly cards referred to in this book.
