Playing Card Addition/Subtraction

I am always trying to find easy, new ways to expose "A" to math. I was exploring The Lesson Plan Diva's blog and found a super simple idea picking two playing cards and using that for the numbers to add or subtract. She even has a free printable. Even though this was a relatively simple concept my son loved it. He didn't want to stop and he wrote different equations all over the paper. I guess this was a real winner we could do over and over again. In fact, he already asked me to print off another sheet.

  3. I did this with my 2nd graders for addition & subtraction fun and even 3rd graders (multiplication!) and it was always such a hit! I am seriously shaking my head that I completely forgot about it and have not done it with my kindergartener! She would LOVE this!!!!
