Number Battle
One 60-second round. Beat the clock to earn a promotion — every card is a President, so decode the face, then fire.
Six drills. One deck.
The same nine Presidents, trained six different ways — division, subtraction, estimation, nerve, sums of ten, and doubling. Pick a drill; each keeps its own rank and best score.
Division without the word — tap the card that completes the fact.
Numbers take the podium.
Your brain does the roll call.
Every card wears the face of a President. Washington is 1, Jefferson is 3, Jackson is 7. Read the face, recall the order in office, then multiply or add — history and math working the same muscle.

1
Read the President
See Andrew Jackson. Recall he was the 7th President. The face is the clue; the order in office is the number hiding underneath.

2
Battle the numbers
Two cards take the stage. Multiply them — 7 × 3 — and the first to shout 21 wins both cards. Flip a Wild and you add instead.

Eight ways to play
Win rounds, take cards, climb from Private to General. Then hit the Skill Yard for six more drills — division, subtraction, estimation, nerve, sums of ten, and doubling.
One number, one President.
Each value 1–9 is the President who held that spot in line. The four Wild legends carry bigger numbers you add before multiplying.
WILD Card Legends — add before you multiply
The stories behind the Presidents.
Every face carries real history. Tap a number to read who they were — the reason the portrait and the value belong together.
1George Washington
The commander who won the Revolution, then chose to hand power back. Unanimously elected the first President in 1789, he set enduring precedents — including stepping down after two terms — that shaped the office ever since.
2John Adams
A Massachusetts lawyer and fierce voice for independence who served as Washington's Vice President before winning the top job himself. He kept a young nation out of a full-scale war with France.
3Thomas Jefferson
The principal author of the Declaration of Independence. As President he doubled the size of the country with the Louisiana Purchase and later founded the University of Virginia.
4James Madison
Called the “Father of the Constitution” for shaping the framework of American government, he also drafted much of the Bill of Rights and led the nation through the War of 1812.
5James Monroe
His presidency was so calm it earned the nickname the “Era of Good Feelings.” His Monroe Doctrine warned European powers not to seek new colonies in the Americas.
6John Quincy Adams
Son of John Adams and a brilliant diplomat before he was President. After leaving office he served for years in the House of Representatives, where he became a leading opponent of slavery.
7Andrew Jackson
The hero of the Battle of New Orleans and the first “common man” to reach the presidency. A larger-than-life figure whose era also carried the hard legacy of Indian Removal.
8Martin Van Buren
A masterful political organizer who helped build the modern party system before serving as Jackson's Vice President and then President. He weathered the financial Panic of 1837.
9William Henry Harrison
“Old Tippecanoe” gave the longest inaugural address in history — then served the shortest term of any President, dying of illness after about a month in office.
16Abraham Lincoln Wild
The 16th President, who led the Union through the Civil War, issued the Emancipation Proclamation, and delivered the Gettysburg Address before the war's end.
26Teddy Roosevelt Wild
The 26th President — trust-buster, conservationist, and Nobel Peace Prize winner who protected millions of acres of public land for future generations.
32Franklin D. Roosevelt Wild
The 32nd President, who guided the country through the Great Depression with the New Deal and most of World War II. The only President elected four times.
35John F. Kennedy Wild
The youngest elected President and the 35th to hold the office. He steered the nation through the Cuban Missile Crisis and set the goal of landing on the Moon.
Dedicated to my Dad — for his support, always.
