Math 24® Game

Math 24® Game

An intellectually challenging game leading to improved skill with basic facts and mental arithmetic

Each of the 96 card decks in the Math 24® Game series offers a range of challenges in each box:
beginning ("1 dot") level problems, intermediate ("2 dot") level problems, and most challenging ("3 dot") level problems.

Each card of every Math 24® Game is a 4"x4" square that is double-sided--for a total of 192 challenges.

In the Add/Subt, Mult/Div, and Fractions versions of the Math 24® Game, the reverse side of the card shows one or more solutions.

All Math 24® Games are made in the USA.

The Math 24® Game is used in tournaments around the country.

In the Single Digits Math 24® Game and the Double Digits Math 24® Game,
the competitors (or solitaire player) think out how the numbers can be combined
by adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing to yield a result of 24.
An easy ("1 dot") level problem from the Single Digits version of the Math 24® Game is shown above.

Praise from parents and teachers
I bought a game for my own two daughters and was bringing it to school for my fourth graders to use. At first we didn't have a regularly scheduled time set aside for practice, but I found that "inside recess" during western Pennsylvania winters was a perfect time to introduce the class to the game. The children quickly became fascinated and involved. Math scores improved and I could hardly get them to quit when it was time for regular class to start again. Now I make this introduction to parents on "meet the teacher night" in September.

I teach middle school students, some who don't know their multiplication facts well. The 24® Game has given them motivation to memorize these facts in order to play with their classmates. I use the game all year long and see an improvement in computation skills.

I teach academically gifted and talented students in grades 3, 4, and 5. This game fits in beautifully with my curriculum. Students not only practice basic mathematics facts, they become adept at mental math, communicating mathematically, validating their thinking, and recognizing multiple ways to solve problems. The added benefit of course is that all this thinking and problem solving is disguised as a game!

In the beginning ("1 dot") level of the Addition/Subtraction Game, the competitors (or solitaire player) think out which circle of 2 numbers can be combined by adding or subtracting to yield a specified result--the number 4 in the example at left.
The Addition/Subtraction Game uses only addition and subtraction.
Multiplication and division are not used.

Sample Answers [additional answers are possible in some instances]:
5 - 1 = 4 (Add/Subt Game)
36 / 6 = 6 (Mult/Div Game)
3 is a common factor of 12 and 21. The multiplication facts are 4 x 3 = 12 and 7 x 3 = 21. (Factors Game)
Since 4 x 3 = 12 and 2 x 1 = 2, 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24 (Single Digits Game)
24 x (8 - 6) / 2 = 24 (Double Digits Game)
24 x (1/3) = 8 (Fraction Fluency portion of Fraction Game) 6 / (1/2) x (3 - 1) = 24 (Fraction Game)
(3 - 9) x (-6 + 2) = 24 (Integers Game)
Since (9 - 3) x (7 - 3) = 24, then y + 2 = 7 and so y = 5 (Algebra/Exponents Game)
