Math Game to try at home - COUNTING ON

Students can use the following game to reinforce and strengthen their counting on skills.
It's a great after school activity.

Supplies Needed:

Deck of cards with the Jacks, Queens, Kings, and Jokers removed

Dice (1 or 2)

Or add some movement to this fun game with a giant deck of cards and large dice!

Instructions for this Counting On card game:

Shuffle and place the cards face down on the table. Player one flips over the top card and starts a discard pile.

Next the first player will throw the dice. Their challenge is to start counting from the number shown on the card and count on the number of times shown on the dice.

Take turns flipping over a card and counting.

There is no winner or loser in this game. It’s just simply a turn-taking game.

The game is quite simple and won’t take long to learn. In the picture above, my daughter turned over a 10. She then threw a dice and got a 6. She started at 10 and counted: 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16.

To make it more difficult, my oldest daughter skipped the counting on and just added the number on the card to the number on the dice in her head. This is a great way to play the game with kids at different skill levels.
