Description of First Set:
This first set of cards is made for the beginning of the school year. The questions on the card are very straight forward. There is not much use of critical thinking, but it helps to foster the improvement of doing math mentally as well as quicken their ability to do simple math facts. |
Description of Second Set: The second set of cards emphasizes the use of problem solving skills. The problems are set up to be more like word problems; therefore, students must be able to recognize words that indicate whether they are expected to add or subtract in order to find the answer. This set of cards may be more appropriate for later in the school year. |
