Four numbers. One target. Go.
Math 24 is a fast card game that turns mental math into a sport. It’s been played in classrooms and competitions nationwide for over 35 years. Here’s a card. Make 24.
Tap a number, then an operation, then another number.
6 times 4 is 24. I still have 3 and 2. 3 minus 2 is 1, and 24 times 1 is still 24. Twenty-four!A fourth-grader talking through the card 6, 4, 3, 2. Most cards have more than one answer, which is what makes explaining it the best part.
Third.Then second.Then first.
Taehun Lee won the Prince William County Math 24 Competition in 2014, after placing third in 2012 and second in 2013.
Three years, three podium finishes. Your students learn from someone who has climbed every step they’re about to climb, from first practice to first place.
