Ten Fish Math Card Game - Family Friendly Educational Cool Math Games for Kids - Elementary and Kindergarten Learning Activities Help Boys and Girls to Learn Mathematics in a Fun, Interactive Way

I've started carrying this deck of cards in my purse. Its quick and easy to play with the kids while waiting at the Drs office or anywhere else. It's simple to keep playing more rounds as more time is needed and quick and easy to clean up. My daughter is in 1st grade and this the perfect time to practice making 10! I set the box on my leg, a table, or a spare chair, we can carefully draw and discard while playing. If the discard pile gets too tall, I can shuffle those cards into the deck on the thicker side of the box.

This type of game is a great way to have fun with the kids while secretly teaching them basic math skills. Instead of saying "let's practice math", you suggest playing Ten Fish which always gets a positive response. The simplicity of the game is one of its' strong suits. Easy to take on vacation or a day at the beach. Kids quickly learn the game and can play with their siblings or friends. Any game this fun and educational is an easy win - win.

A fun way to add numbers.

The kids are requesting this hame regularly! We have ages 7, 5, 2, & an infant; all 3 older ones played last night. I had to help the 2yo, and she doesn’t fully understand what we’re going for (she’s just excited to be playing with everyone else!), but she helps count how many blanks are on the card and then can ask a sibling for that number. The 5yo is holding his own, and it is boosting confidence in simple math facts for the 7yo. Total win for us, as we get math, sibling fun, family time, and a great way to wind down before bed! Plus it’s very portable. Yay!

We really enjoy this card game. I personally love the ten frame on each card. It helps kids visually see what is missing to make ten. We have played War and Make Ten Pyramid Solitaire with great success. However, we did have to take out some cards to have equal matches for Make Ten Pyramid Solitaire. My only complaint is that they don't sell these cards in Canada. I ended up buying them from the States and shipping them to Canada, where they were double the cost because of the exchange rate, shipping rates, and duty. Most expensive cards I've ever bought and I love them so much, I wish I could buy another set but it's not financially worth it.

We are loving this game! It moves fast enough to keep even the littlest in our game circle interested but is challenging enough for our older (mid-elementary) crew to be engaged. We have played it giving different “matches” to different players. It is basically a Go Fish variation, which my kids love. It reinforces those 10 pair, but we’ve used it for other number families as well. It has been pretty much in constant rotation since we got it!

I am a retired elementary school teacher who now has the pleasure of teaching ouR Kindy and 2nd grade grandsons due to Covid 19. Your game is great for our Kindy who is transitioning from needing the 10 frame to using the numbers alone. He has created some of his own games with the cards. The rules are “fluid” but the result is still number sense practice. An added bonus is that many Other math activities use regular playing cards without the face cards - here is a deck ready to go!

Nice game, quality deck. Could really just use regular card deck with same idea. Kids don’t seem to gravitate to this one (preferring clumsy thief) but...
