She can now add better than I can! We made our own flashcards and did everything the book suggested, along with the tips I learned at the conference from Susan. It's now December, and she's completed the book with flying colors. By the time my daughter turned 8 in the summer, we got our hands on this book. I'd gone through addition with my then 7-year-old for an entire year, and she still wasn't retaining the facts. I got this book and met the author at a homeschool conference in Denver last summer.

Wonderful Book for Kids Struggling with Basic Mathīy TheFallingDutchmanon Novemfor Two Plus Two Is Not Five. I wish I would have just went this route originally. We paid lots of money to send her to Mathnasium and in the end she learned more from this book then 12 weeks with them. Great book! My daughter struggled in math. Three new reviews were posted on for Five Times Five Is Not Ten and Two Plus Two Is Not Five.ġ. Better than Mathnasium! By Sarafinaon Decemfor Two Plus Two Is Not Five. It lends well to to teaching regrouping of tens and ones, and use of negative points and subtracting! My granddaughter wanted to tally my score as well. Lowest score wins!Ĭhildren will have fun adding up their four cards, and can total the running scores as well. Score is tallied and then another set of four cards are dealt, until 18 rounds are played. Play continues until all four cards are face up. Or, if Player 1 had discarded an UNKNOWN card and it happened to be a King or Ace, or other low card, Player 2 might want that because it has a low score value. Player 2 knows one of the cards she peeked at is a Jack, so she picks it for a PAIR, and turns it over in place of another card-either an UNKNOWN or the other one she peaked at. If the next player LIKES the discard, then it would be picked and turned over in place of one of her other face down cards. Or, if you say you want to keep an UNKNOWN, once it’s faced up, it cannot be exchanged.Īt this point, the next player has a choice of taking your discard or picking from the pile. *You cannot peek to see what’s under the UNKNOWN before deciding what to do. If you like the card you picked from the pile, you can place it face up in place of either one of the cards you peeked at that you don’t like, OR, take a chance and place it face up in place of one of the UNKNOWN cards.Īfter seeing it, even if you LIKE that UNKNOWN card, once you decided you would discard it, you cannot change your mind and it is placed face up in the Discard pile. If you are stuck with a high value card, you never know, you may get lucky and pick another for a pair! Or maybe you lucked out with a low-scoring card OR a match to make a pair! That card stays face up now, and may not be moved or exchanged again. If you don’t like the card you picked from the pile, then discard it and you must either face up one of the two cards close to you that you peeked at, OR take a chance and turn over one of the two UNKNOWN cards. At each turn, you must also face up one card and discard one card. Everyone can see this card because it will now become one of your face up cards OR you will discard it.Ģ. Once you pick from the pile, it’s yours for that turn to either keep or discard. You cannot look at the card from the pile and then change your mind. At each of your four turns for this round, you may choose either from the face up discard or from the face down pile. Here’s where the fun, chance, and risk start!ġ. You may peek at the 2 cards CLOSE to you, but NOT at the other 2.
*Place your 4 cards in a square, and keep 2 cards close to you, and 2 cards farther away. One card is faced up, and that is the Discard pile.
The rest of the cards are in a pile face down and become the pile to pick from.
#CARD GAME GOLF 8 CARDS HOW TO#
How to play: Each player is dealt 4 cards face down. Therefore, Kings, pairs, 3 and 4 of a kind, Aces and low point cards are better than high point cards, Jacks or Queens.Īfter each round, the value for the 4 cards is added up for each person’s score.Įxamples: Jack, Queen, 4 and Ace: 10, 10, 4, 1 = 25 points Note that 1 King = 0, 2 Kings= 0, 3 kings= -5, and 4 kings = -10 Play 18 rounds-hence the name, Golf.Ĭard values: Ace = 1 2 through 10 are face value (2 points up to 10 points) Jacks and Queens are each 10 points Kings = ZERO! A PAIR = ZERO! Three of a kind = -5! (That’s minus 5) Four of a kind = – 10! (minus 10) Each player is dealt 4 cards face down per round. We played this for well over an hour on an airplane ride too! In my last post, I mentioned teaching my young granddaughter a card game called Golf. It has been a hit among my group of friends, and was easy to teach my 6 year-old granddaughter. She enjoyed playing, and didn’t realize she was using math to total her points and add on to her score.
