About Number Pairs
Cards lie face down on the board. Each pair is one card with a number and one with that many dots, set out like on a die. Your child turns two at a time and remembers where things are, and every match stays face up.
How to play
- Tap a card to turn it over, then tap a second one.
- Find the number that goes with the dots to make a pair.
- On a keyboard, move with the arrow keys and flip with Space or Enter.
What your child practices
- Visual memory
- Matching numbers to amounts
- Counting dots
