Youcubed number cards
Duration: 2:51
How to play:
Using the YouCubed math cards, match cards with the same value shown through different representations.
Lay all the cards down on a table and take turn to pick them up, looking for a match. For example, 9 fours can be shown with an area model, a set of objects such as dominoes, and the number sentence (equation), as well as the product, 36.
When players match the cards, they should explain how they know that the different cards are equivalent in value.
For those who like a challenge!
Play the game until there are no cards left.
Play the game so that the player with the most pairs is the winner.
