A Simple deck of cards can make maths fun and engaging! ♠️♥️ From addition and subtraction to probability and patterns, there are so many creative ways to turn everyday card games into learning. CHALLENGE : Pick two cards and add, subtract, or multiply the numbers. For older learners, explore probability, factors, or even algebra! #MathsMadeFun #HandsOnLearning #MathsIsFun
