Dr. Cotter’s Game Picks

May 28, 2024 by Kathleen Cotter Clayton

Do you wonder what game to play? Or looking for a plan for the summer? Especially if you’re new to the Math Card Games book? We got you covered!!

Here are Dr. Cotter’s picks for 12 weeks of summer games: pre-school, addition, multiplication, and fraction games. We’ve even broken down the games into different levels to make it easier for you to apply to your child’s skill level.

So, you have the list, now what? Find the topic that you want to cover, determine which path best fits the child’s skill level, then follow the games list. Click on the images above then print them out. The game number will help you locate the game in the Math Card Games book.

If there’s a single asterisk after a game title, there is a blog with more instructions and pictures. Just search on our website for the game number above, like A5 or F16, and you’ll get more detailed instructions and pictures for the game. If there’s a double asterisk, there is a blog that will link to a video to help you and your kids play the game.

We also have the instructions videos available for purchase too. You can choose the topic that you’ll be spending the most time in, like addition or fractions. You can also get games from the RightStart Math level you just finished.

As you can see, each week has one to three games to be played. These games can be played multiple times during the week, just like you’d play Monopoly or Yahtzee more than once. Each game will have its own variances, learning opportunities, and laughter!

These games are chosen to help children learn and practice their skills and facts. The games will build on each other. Feel free to go back and replay a favorite game or move at your own pace through the list. It’s important that a child understands math, is able to apply their skills to new situations like these games, and most of all, enjoys math!

    The investigation of mathematics, similar to the Nile, starts in minuteness yet finishes in radiance.

    Perfect, thank you! What Righstart level are beginner/intermediate/advanced equivalent to, please?

      Good morning, Luana.

      These games are designed to strengthen current skills and build fluency. No specific grade levels are assigned to these games. Some students are advanced in their grade level and will benefit most from more advanced games to challenge them. Some students struggle with math facts and would benefit from the confidence built when playing more beginner games and building skills from there.

      Consider that the beginner games are easier, the intermediate games create more of a challenge, and the advanced games are even more challenging. So, when a student is confidently and fluently playing games in one level, they just might be ready to ‘level up!’

      If you have any other questions, just let us know! You can call us at (888)272-3291 or email us at [email protected]

      Have a great summer and enjoy the games!

What our Customers Are Saying

Thank you so much for your RightStart Math Curriculum. I have been using it for 3 years with my son and my daughter is beginning her second year. I love the strategies you use for teaching math and the lessons are fun to teach.
Jennifer Traugott
My daughter is 7 and this is our 2nd year to use RightStart Math. She is in 2nd grade and is adding and subtracting 4 digits numbers with trading like it is nothing. She also can do her multiplications. The most amazing thing is that when she is somewhere and has to spend her money she is quick to tell them how much change she needs back. I have seen a lot of teenagers and adults who cannot do thi… Read more

My daughter is in 4th grade this year. Math has always been a struggle for her, as it was for her father. I discovered that she has dyslexia (which is hereditary). I didn’t realize that had any effect on math, but I found out that people with dyslexia cannot learn with rote memorization or sequential skills. This makes it harder for them to remember math facts or how to do algorithms. Before I kne… Read more
