One more maths game using playing cards

Joker mania

♠ = multiply that card by 3

♥ = multiply that card by 4

♣ = multiply that card by 5

♦ = multiply that card by 6

Joker = Say the whole times table of the card you picked up with the Joker.

Examples:

You pick up the 7♠ and the 6 ♦

(sum = 7 x 3 + 6 x 6 = 21 + 36 = 57)

If you pick up the K♥ and the joker – you have to say your 4 times table

As you get to know your tables change the values around e.g.

♠ = multiply that card by 7

♥ = multiply that card by 8

♣ = multiply that card by 9

♦ = multiply that card by 10

You can make up your own rules at this point – try to think of something to help you learn your 11 and 12 times tables!
