There are so many ways to use playing cards in math! Here’s one of my favorite ways, with a freebie for you too!
Make the Biggest or Smallest Number – Each player takes 5 cards. The players then race to see who can make the biggest number, or the 
smallest number – depending on the ability of your students. I have a mat that I use when I put this into centers, so that it is easier for my students. Grab a free copy of the mat from Google Docs by clicking on the picture.
