Learn, revise and have fun

2D Maths Trumps is 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.

This pack aims to meet the needs of students to use mathematical names for common 2-D shapes. They must also identify other facts about those 2-D Shapes such as number of sides, facets of symmetry etc . Here's how you play:
  • 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
  • See the sample Explanation, Question and Answer cards images for more.
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.
