These games are an excellent way to build confidence and independence in first graders as they transition from foundational skills to more complex math concepts. Because the directions never change, students can quickly pick up the routine and play independently—giving you time to work with small groups or provide individual support. The hands-on, visual format helps solidify skills like place value, addition, subtraction, and telling time, while keeping practice engaging. And with editable and blank templates included, you can easily adapt the cards to fit your students’ specific needs year after year.
