- Take a regular deck of cards and remove all dressed cards (Jacks, Ladies and Kings). Ace = 1.
- Divide so you get half the deck each and place the pile in front of you with the numbers down.
- Start. Place each card at the same time on the table, eg 7 and 9. Whoever first says what 7x9 becomes, gets pair. If you say the answer at the same time you get one card each.
- The winner is the one who gets the most pairs when the piles is over.
Could have a small competition in the classroom with groups, semifinals and finals. Could have a special focus area each lesson. Could have silent study first half of lesson and then have this gamified approach last half.
