Mental math is a great way for kids to stretch their brains by solving math problems without pencils, paper, or calculators. Here are 104 engaging task cards for plenty of mental math practice!
There are a few ways to use these cards:
-Teacher Led:
The teacher or a student leader reads a card out loud, line by line, giving time for students to mentally calculate each new step. Students then show their answers either with their fingers or by writing on individual white boards or tablets. This makes it easy for the teacher to quickly assess student answers. Alternatively, students could use one of the provided student answer sheets and the class could correct together, or if being used as an assessment, turn in for grading.
– In Pairs:
Students take turns reading cards to each other. If you want students to record their answers, you could use one answer sheet and have one student do the odds and the other do the evens.
– Individually:
Students work with each card on their own, recording answers on one of the provided answer sheets.
You could also use for Scoot, Quiz, Quiz Trade, or other games.
Cards are included for printing in color or on colored paper using the black line version.

Rachel is amazing at task cards and these are no different. I had some students that needed to be challenged and these did that. By the end of the year, I had many who asked to be challenged!

This resource has been great for my tutoring students. They love that if they get the wrong answer, it is easy to go back to the beginning and start again. Some of my students have loved racing through as many cards as they can in a set time. I have used the cards for many years, and still think they are amazing!

Great resource. Mental math is an important component in quickly solving math problems and this helps students have more time to work on more complicated equations.

My virtual students loved the free version, thinking it was a fun game, so I purchased to entire set for end of year fun! I will definitely use them for future years because I believe in the importance of mental math for developing number sense.

My high achievers loved this activity. They don’t always like to show their work so this provided them with opportunities to showcase their math skills. I think I learned a thing or two as well.

Fun! Easy to use! Great warm up as well as a quick filler. I can also use it to see who is listening during e-Learning; I have my kids ‘show me’ their answers using whiteboards.
