HOW TO PLAY

16 cards face down. Each card has a number or number sentence up to 9 on the reverse.

The object of the game is to match pairs of numbers and number sentences, like pelmanism or pelmathism.

• Click on a card to flip it over. Repeat.
• If you select two cards which do not match up to make a pair, when you click again they will flip back over again, hiding the number or number sentence.
• Try to remember where the different numbers or number sentences are so that you can make a match.
• When the cards do match, the pair will disappear, adding 50 points to your starting score of 100. When they don't match, you lose 10 points.
• The game finishes when you have matched all the pairs.

MAKING THE GAME EASIER OR HARDER

• Click on Game and select Change Settings to change the number of cards and the range of numbers in the game.

  You can choose 12, 16, 20 or 24 cards.

• The lowest number in the range is always 5. The highest number can be set anywhere between 8 and 20.

BE A WINNER

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!

THE MATHS IS IN THE MATCHING

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.
