My little brother, Stephen, at age 6, loved working addition and subtraction problems. For reasons unbeknownst to me, he got quite a thrill out of just coming up to you and saying, "Hey, 4 + 7 = 11". When he discovered the card game War, he constantly asked people to play it (or one of his many original variations, such as "Looking War"). I think what he needed was a deck of these cards, which seem like such a great idea to me. The flashcard sized cards feature various math facts, and kids will have to answer the problems to find out who wins the match. The Addition and Subtraction set cards have pictures of kids forming the plus or minus signs, and the Multiplication deck is even more colorful, with different sea life illustrations on the cards. Both decks also include wild cards for another twist on the classic game of War. - Melissa
