RACE TO 30
mixed operations · adding and subtracting within 30; odd and even numbers
To add and subtract within 30, to identify numbers as odd or even
RACE TO 30 is a Grade 2 card game where odd and even card values control opposite directions. Players begin at 15; drawing an odd card means subtracting its value from the current position, while an even card means adding it. The first player to reach or pass either endpoint—0 or 30—wins, so every draw combines computation with parity.
Use it in a small group when students are adding and subtracting within 30 and classifying numbers as odd or even. The central starting point makes movement in both directions easy to visualize.
