Maths Trumps games provide players with what's needed to learn and revise by playing a great game of real skill. 

  • Written by a renowned mathematics teacher
  • Each pack starts with Useful Facts cards 
  • Players share game cards out
  • Then they try to trump each other
  • Making calculations on paper are encouraged
  • Bonus questions add depth and meaning to topics
  • The winner succeeds by collecting all the cards
  • Answer cards are provided. 

Games are perfect for teachers and for parents wishing to make learning a fun activity rather than a rote activity. Beautifully designed and written, they can be used over around 8 years old.

Like the best card games, they are ideal for small group use - groups of students, or a family. But they can also be used in solitaire games to revise, or to reinforce. See how here.

The topics addressed in the packs meet all of the relevant leading objectives, as set out in the KS2/KS3 National Curriculum (Ages 8-14). The bonus content promotes deeper learning and explores wider concepts, giving more experienced players exposure to the higher echelons of the mathematics curriculum. For full descriptions see the individual packs below.
