These KaBoom cards are a fun way to practice Order of Operations (BIDMAS, BODMAS, PEDMAS), with differentiation built in. Players choose whether they want to choose an easier question (red), but will receive less points for their correct answer, or risk a more challenging question (green) and gain greater rewards.

The red cards consist of questions involving addition and subtraction with multiplication and division. It also includes questions such as 8-2+3 which tests student’s knowledge of the equal importance of addition and subtraction.

The Yellow Cards consist of questions involving brackets and some easy powers.

The Green Card consists of more challenging Order of Operations questions including more challenging powers combined with brackets.

Begin by laying all the cards out face down (so you see only the number of points they are worth). Players take turns to select a card, either red, yellow or green. The difficulty of the questions will increase.

They may also pick up either a Steal Card, giving them a chance to steal from any other player, a Shield, which protects them from the next KaBoom, and KaBoom cards which means you lose all your collected points so far.

Play as a whole class in teams, or print multiple copies to play in small groups around the table. If students get the answer incorrect, or they need some help, use your judgement as to whether you will allow them another guess or not.

Questions answered incorrectly go in the ‘house’ pile, along with any cards lost in a KaBoom.

At the end of the game, add up the ‘house’ pile. The winner is the player or team with the highest points (including any shield cards that have been unused). The house can win.

Included are two copies of the game; one designed for a double sided printer and one designed for single sided printing where you need to turn over the pages yourself to print double sided.

Full instructions are included as are answers.

Superhero Themed Number Play-doh Mats & Ten Frames

Early Learning Activities)

This is a great hands on early learning counting activity that helps introduce one-to-one correspondence to your students. I recommend laminating these for better durability and to be able to reuse them.

Your students can use play-doh to form each number and then make the correct amount of little play-doh balls to show the number they formed.

This superhero bundle is super cute. I love all the colors that I was able to include in these play-doh mats. What student doesn't love some superheros?

This bundle includes both alphabet play-doh mats (with both Uppercase and lowercase letters) as well as number play-doh mats (with 10 frames).

The alphabet play-doh mats also have predictable reading practice (for your students that are ready for that). Each letter has a picture of an item that starts with that letter as well as a sentence that your students can practice reading. The picture helps with visual clues for your littles that need that!

The number play-doh mats also include ten frames. Your students can practice one-to-one correspondence while forming numbers 1-10.

I hope you and your younge learners enjoy these products as much as I enjoyed making them!
