Comparing game

We played a math game today with a deck of cards, to help us with comparing numbers. We discarded Jacks, Queens, Kings, And Jokers. We counted the Ace as a one and the ten as a zero. We each drew the same number of cards (3, 4, 5, or 6). With the cards we chose, we tried to come up with either the largest or smallest number (you can choose which before you play a round). You then compare the two numbers to see who has the larger (or smaller) number created.
For instance: If I chose 5, A (1), 3, 9, I could arrange them as 9, 5, 3, A(1) to make the number 9 531. I would then compare it with my partner's four digit number to see who had a larger or smaller number.
Try it at home for extra practise and have fun!
