Yonjuu is a tactile card game designed to make numbers visible. From basic addition to complex algebra, I created this tool to help learners see, touch, and understand the logic behind math, removing the fear of rote memorization.

My son Kai and I demonstrate how to play Level 1 of Yonjuu, a math card game I created. This video shows the core of my philosophy: making learning a fun, engaging, and collaborative experience for families. The game is designed to build number sense and strategic thinking in a playful way.

This video provides a step-by-step tutorial for my math game, Yonjuu. I created it to transform abstract concepts into a tangible, strategic card game that strengthens number sense and logical reasoning for learners of all ages.

A short video demonstrating how to use Yonjuu cards to visualize multiplication. Instead of memorizing tables, learners can see '4 times 3' as four groups of three, building deep conceptual understanding.

This video explains how to use Yonjuu cards for addition and subtraction with numbers greater than five. The 'make a ten' strategy shown here is a powerful mental math technique that the visual cards help to solidify.

A glowing recommendation for Yonjuu from mathematician Dr. James Tanton. It's an honor to have my game recognized for its ability to build a strong foundation in arithmetic through fun and fluency practice.

A video of a child using Yonjuu cards to learn 'partners of 5' (number combinations that add up to 5). This foundational skill is crucial for developing number sense and fluency in addition and subtraction.

A video showing a child using popsicle sticks to practice counting and bundling in groups of ten. This hands-on activity complements the use of Yonjuu cards to build a concrete understanding of place value.

A video of a child practicing math fact fluency by making pairs of numbers that add up to five using Yonjuu cards. Consistent, playful practice is key to mastery.

A video demonstrating a more advanced addition task with Yonjuu cards. Here, we move beyond simple pairs to adding multiple cards by visualizing and regrouping, a key step towards mental math proficiency.

About Yonjuu: The Math Game for Everyone

Yonjuu isn't just another set of flashcards. It is a tool designed to fix the gap between abstract numbers and real understanding. When you hold these cards, you are not just reciting facts; you are seeing 'partners of 10' and visualizing magnitude through the ten-frame design on every card. Whether your child is struggling with basic addition or you are looking for a visual way to explain multiplication, these cards change the conversation from 'what is the answer' to 'how does this number work'.
