3-CARD ADDITION WAR
addition · adding three numbers and comparing sums
To add three numbers
3-CARD ADDITION WAR takes the familiar card-game comparison format and turns it into Grade 1 practice with three addends. Each player turns over three cards, finds the total, and compares sums to determine who wins the round. Using three numbers instead of two gives students a chance to look for friendly combinations and think about efficient ways to add.
This is straightforward partner practice for building addition fluency and comparing totals without adding another screen to the lesson. Listen for students grouping numbers in different ways or noticing combinations that are easier to add first.
