Play the Number Sentence Game

Playing the Number Sentence Game with your child gives him the opportunity to practice ordering and comparing numbers using symbols. So shuffle the cards and let the game begin! First player to make the most “True” number sentences wins!

What You Need:

• 30 Number Cards (0 to 9, three of each)
• 10 Symbol Cards (Use the symbols > , <, =)*make 4 equal sign cards

What You Do:

1. Before the game begins, set the rules of the game and decide whether the numbers can have one, two, or three digits. Shuffle the number and symbol cards together and deal 10 cards to each player face down. Extra cards are placed in a pile face down.
2. Each player turns over his cards and starts making number sentences. The players can do this at the same time.
3. When each player has made as many number sentences as he can from his 10 cards, it’s time to declare if each sentence is true or false. Each player reads each of his sentences to the other player, who calls out “True” if he agrees that the number sentence is true or “False” if he believes the number sentence is not correct.
4. Each player then counts the number of cards he has used in his "True" sentences. This is the number of cards he will draw from the pile in the next round of play.
5. Now a new round of play begins. Rounds continue until there are no more cards left in the pile. The player with the most “True” sentences wins.
