Our cards follow a "Carnival Fun" theme and can be used for a math carnival game or event.

With a complete answer key included, these task cards are perfect for building computational fluency and making math both enjoyable and educational!

These task cards come with various templates that your students can use to record their responses to the task cards. These will be helpful for you if you decide to use these task cards in group work, a math station activity, or an independent work block where each student has a set of cards to answer.

Card examples:

"A ride at the carnival runs for 2 minutes, then 5 minutes, then 7 minutes, then 10 minutes. How long will the next ride last if the pattern continues?

"If a carnival game is shaped like a rectangle measuring 12 meters by 8 meters, what is the perimeter?"

These cards help make math review fun and give you a break if you need an easy no-prep activity.
