The Playing Cards can be used to play a range of traditional card games, or children can come up with their own maths games. With 12 sets of cards there are enough to play in pairs or groups around the class, or packs can be combined for a larger game.

For students who prefer independent study, the cards can be used to practise number recognition and counting. Regardless of individual use, the cards serve as a fun way to practise foundational mathematics that will be a gateway to later learning.
