These KaBoom cards are a fun way to practice addition and subtraction using column methods, 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 two digit addition and subtraction with no carry over or borrowing (two questions in the red require carrying over to the tens digit). The Yellow Cards consist of three digit addition and subtraction involving carry over and borrowing. The Green Card consists of addition and subtraction involving decimals, where lining up of the digits is crucial.
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.

Covering mean, median and mode, these question cards give a string of numbers. All mean values are whole numbers, so students can work them out without a calculator. Either tell students what they are focusing on for this game, or let them choose, meaning it is great for differentiation. For an extra challenge, allow students to decide whether to look for mean, median or mode with each card played, giving them more options of numbers to choose from.
The product consists of 54 cards, and a set of bingo cards ready for students to put in their choice of numbers from a list of possible solutions.
This game is an easily printed and prepared thanks to easy-cut guides. It comes with well-explained rules of play, and makes a great time filler for an entire class or a high quality game for one on one tuition.
This is included in the Bingo Bundle with 4 other activities at a discount price.

This pack contains the following:
Worksheet 1 Bar Equivalence
Worksheet 2 Equivalent Fractions
Worksheet 3 Equivalent Linking

The first worksheet introduces students to equivalent fractions using fraction bars as a way of comparing. The second worksheet consists of fraction circles as a way to compare equivalent fractions. The third worksheet is a linking activity where students link drawn equivalent fractions. This time the drawn fractions are in different shapes, such as circle, square, octagon, so students are required to find the fraction of the shape that is shaded before connecting it to the equivalent fraction.
The fourth worksheet is a more traditional equivalent fractions sheet, asking students to simplify fractions in the numerical form. The fifth worksheet covers converting between decimals and percentages, and the sixth worksheet covers converting decimal fractions (fractions with a denominator with a power of 10 such as 10, 100 and 1000) into decimals and percentages.
The seventh worksheet is a challenge worksheet looking at what fraction of buttons are shaded. It encourages simplification, and differentiation 3 even has a question about percentages.
