My kids LOVE playing math games with these cards
I am so glad I spent the money on these cards. Yes, they are pricey, but they are high-quality, and my kids LOVE playing with them.Our homeschool math curriculum (Math with Confidence) has a lot of math card games included in the lessons. The curriculum calls for ordinary playing cards, but using these cards really enhances the experience for my kids. It has been easy to adapt these cards to every card game our math curriculum has recommended. I have not actually tried any of the games included in the Wild Side cards, because the ones in our math curriculum are perfectly tailored to what my kids are currently learning. Eventually, we will try the games included in the Wild Side cards, and I am sure my kids will like those ones too.The main thing that sets these cards apart is the quality. They are beautiful, and pleasant to handle, and the wild cards are just so well-done and cute. My kids each have their favorite wilds and get excited when they end up with them.My kids are 6 and 9, so they already have pretty good number sense, but even so, the multiple ways shown of expressing each numbers has been helpful. My 6-year-old is learning to add and subtract numbers over 10, and he often uses the 10-frames on the cards to visualize the problems and see how the numbers fit together. I can see these cards being helpful for much younger kids too, who are just learning to recognize numbers and understand what they mean. That said, my 9-year-old is getting just as much use from them as her younger brother.Both my kids math skills have improved so much in the month or so we have had these cards, and the Math with Confidence curriculum. I credit all of that to the fact that they will happily play math games every day and get lots of practice, and are actually enjoying math, instead of fighting me because it is "boring".

Great tool for small groups in SPEd
I have been pleasantly surprised at how useful these cards are for my elementary students in special education. The kids love the cards and beg me to play games with them. The visuals on the card are super supportive. For example, kids who have struggled with the idea of subtraction for years suddenly get it when they are able to try multiple models on each problem because of the dots, lines, and tallies on each one. The booklet of game suggestions is helpful and well-organized. It includes game suggestions that are appropriate for preschool through middle school. My only suggestion for improvement is that the cards are a little too big. Something closer to standard card deck size would be easier for elementary students to hold and manipulate.

Math games for all levels
I love the Wild Side Number Sense cards! I appreciate that each card gives ten frame, tally, number, number line, and finger equivalents. I have used the game with my middle school students and my preschool daughter. The game comes with a booklet that has a variety of games that can be played at various grade levels and across number sense standards (PEMDAS, fractions). We like the size and feel of the cards and the artistry of the wild cards. Highly recommend!

Great educational tool
This deck of cards is amazing. So many games to play to help with math concepts. The kids I use it with, kindergarten- 6th grade, love it. Could be used with any age including adults. Highly recommend.

Fun games! My grandkids love this set!
I play a lot of games with my grandkids when they are over. They are ages six (twins) and 9. This set is great, and the kids love them! There is a huge variety of games for all ages. The little ones use the visuals on the cards to count in some games. They love using the wild cards to be strategic and try to win. :) We have played several of the games, but there are still a lot of we haven't played yet. We will get a lot of use out of these!

Good learning tool for preschool and elementary students
These are a great set of cards/games for a young child who loves numbers and is just learning basic math. It is definitely more interesting than flash cards, and it's always great to have activities for kids that don't involve screens.I think the claim that it has "over 50 games" is a stretch. It is technically true, but a lot of the games, especially in the older children's section, are really just gambling games where the winner was not the player who demonstrated the greater mathematical ability but rather the player who got luckier in their cards dealt and they use math to determine who was the winner. I don't think many older children would be interested in playing most of the games labeled "grades 6-8." The final game in the booklet is really just a version of the card game War using these cards instead of a standard deck and honestly I think War using a standard deck is more fun.For younger children who like math, this is a nice way to fill some time and perhaps learn some new math basics depending on grade level. My son is 9 years old and is very advanced in math, and we can find some games in here for him to play, but I think the cards would have been better to have back in preschool or early elementary.
