Money–I Have Who Has Cards for Free!

I have been sorting through some of the activities I have made from this past year, so I can post some of them on Teachers Pay Teachers–one of my  many summer goals , and I just happened across this game which I made from the descriptions on math wire.  I made them into card form, and I also am including a set which I added coins onto for students who need the visual–or you could use both sets for to differentiate!  Until I went to the NCTM conference in San Diego, I wasn’t a big fan of the game I Have Who Has because it seemed ineffective to me to play as a whole class.  However, at the conference I went to a workshop in which the presenter modeled playing in small groups.  In his version groups of four to six students are give a deck of cards.  Each child holds several cards, so they have more than one turn and naturally are more attentive to the game since they participate more than one time.
