Matching

Mathematicians often need to be able to express numbers in different ways, and use these different representations in calculations. This feature brings together different mathematical versions of the classic 'matching pairs' game, through which learners can deepen their understanding of equivalence in a variety of contexts. Don't forget to read the Teachers' Resources which suggest how to introduce the tasks in the classroom.
