cards face down. Alternatively you can choose the number of
cards you want to play with. The object of the game is to match
pairs of numbers and number sentences, like pelmanism or
pelmathism. You play the game on the computer, but not against
the computer. It is a game of skill, concentration and knowing
your number bonds with an added element of chance. Good number
hunting and Good Luck! Where does the maths come in? The numbers
on the card are either a single number or a short number
sentence such as 5+3. You have to match two cards that have the
same total. Are some number bonds easier to remember than
others? Find out which number bonds you need to get to know
better. To download a printable version of this game use the

an NRICH logo on the back. If you would prefer them to be blank
on the back, please just print the first page.
