School Zone Math War Multiplication Game Cards: 56 Cards, 3rd Grade, 4th Grade, 5th Grade, Math Games, Beginning Algebra, Multiplication Facts & Tables, Ages 8+

For the price, this is an excellent learning tool. What better way to teach your child multiplication than through a fun and challenging game. Absolutely brilliant! I purchased this item for my twin boys (aged six). The twins are quite familiar with the game of War, so they caught on to the rules of this game right away. They LOVED playing against each other. My younger kids (aged 3 and 5) even joined in. Soon I had all four kids learning their multiplication tables. Its even fun for adults!The quality of the cards is quite nice - Medium cardstock. Might not be a bad idea to laminate them, especially the card with the answers. Multiplication problems are printed on one side. The other side has a fishy background. The cards are also sized a bit larger than your average playing cards. I thought this was the perfect size for children to hold.The only downside I could think of is that the multiplication problems seems to only go up to 9. Other than that, it is a really fun game that will teach your kid(s) multiplication.

I bought this game for my students to work on their multiplication fluency. They love it! I might get another couple sets so more than one group of students can use them at a time!

I use these cards to engage elementary school children (after school tutoring) in learning multiplication. I modified the game of war by allowing the child to "win" up to 2 cards per each play. The child 1st earns a card if he or she can determine the answers on my card and their card (I tell them to analyze the cards) and then if they have the winning card they get the 2nd card. If I have the highest card and they correctly determine the answers on each card, then I get a card and they get a card. If the child has a losing card and does not get the answers right on both cards, then I both cards. I put the cards aside that they missed and quiz them on it at the end of the game. The person with the most cards win (yes, it does favor the child :-)If the kid is pretty good with their tables, then add speed to it (e.g. they have to blurt out the answers to both cards in 5 seconds). I will be doing a challenge tournament soon with the children.Also, great price on the cards. I saw other flash cards going for over $20 on Amazon.

I am happy with these cards except for the fact that it is hard to tell the 6 and 9 apart from one another. This could have been easily fixed by using a different font and 6/9 confusion is a common problem for kids that any educator designing the cards would have known about.

Great for kids. They love it.

I’ve been tutoring three boys and math facts is one area we target. Its a good way for them to work on their facts with a way that any of them can win. They have enjoyed it twice now and are helping each other learn their facts. You play it like war as long as they get their problem right! (Highest score wins all the cards.)

After teaching a couple of my third graders to play (they had never played war), everyone was begging daily to play! Many struggled with their multiplication facts in the beginning (and throughout the whole year), but after playing these games several times they quickly learned them. I now own several sets of math war (multiplication, division, and addition/ subtraction).Parents: PLEASE buy these for you kids, you will not regret it. They figure out that math can be fun and master facts a lot quicker! Multiplication would be great for second/ third grade up. Very easy, fun, and non-intimidating way to learn facts (even if they need a multiplication table or paper at first). Also a great summer activity and travel game!

This is a great way to practice facts. But the directions on how to win are sort of confusing.Also my 9yr old kept getting confused on what the fact was… the formatting is kind of strange.We eventually just made our own rules just to call out and yell answers to the facts.
