Background: As a math teacher, I have been horrified at how my students avoided canceling like it was the plague. I would cringe as I watched students multiply first, then reduce. Something as simple as 2/3 x 1/2 was made twice as hard. All they had to do was cancel the 2's and get a final answer of 1/3. Sooo much easier!! This year I decided to create a series of resources, leading them to discover for themselves just how useful a skill it is. Description: In this resource, I introduce the idea

A friendly competitive card game designed to strengthen operations with negative numbers. Includes numbers 0-14 (both positive and negative). 10 cards per sheet 2 of each card makes a 60 card deck
