About School Friendly Cards:
School Friendly Cards are a set of playing cards that are easier to use. Picture cards and suits are replaced by numbers and shapes, lowering cognitive load and allow a focus on the maths. These cards are great for younger children, but are still suitable for older students. They:
- Include a zero card per suit, allowing more mathematical options,
- have their picture cards Jack, Queen and King replaced by an 11, 12 and 13,
- have no standard suits such as clubs, spades etc, but rather colours and shapes,
- and have shapes on each card have been configured in standard subitising patterns
Many schools choose School Friendly Cards to avoid the associations with gambling of regular playing cards
