This makes cards for a simple mental arithmetic game.
It prints a series of linked cards or slip of paper, each with an answer to another card and a question.
You need to print a set with on card for each child in the class. You need to use all the cards, so if a child is off, you can give two slips to another child.
Once the cards are given out, a child reads out her question, the child with the answer to that question, calls it out, followed by his question and so on. The last question will lead back to the first child.
I use the same card set many times, over several days or even weeks. Challenge the class to beat a time or improve on a previous one.
The popup button at the bottom right lets you choose a small image that will be printed on each card, this helps keeps ets of cards together and not get mixed up.
The project will warn you if you have not chosen a combination of sums with enough unique answers, e.g. there are very few different answers to division sums, you will not be able to make a division only chase unless you have a very small class.
