Nice warm-up
A bit trickier
Go for it!
Combine maths practice with memory training in this engaging card-matching game. Children flip cards to find matching number pairs, exercising both their numerical recognition and short-term memory. The game strengthens concentration while making number practice feel like play.
Try to remember the position of each card you flip. Work through the grid systematically rather than flipping randomly.
Matching pairs trains working memory — the same focus used when remembering a PIN, a locker code, or spelling a new word.
Who it suits: Number Match is suitable for children aged 5 and above. Younger children (ages 5-7) benefit most from the working memory training. Older children (ages 8-12) develop strategic thinking skills by learning to approach the grid systematically rather than randomly.

Working memory — the ability to hold and use information in mind — is one of the strongest predictors of academic achievement in both maths and reading. Regular working memory practice through games like this one strengthens the cognitive capacity children need to follow multi-step instructions, solve word problems, and retain information while learning new concepts.

Children who struggle with working memory will often flip a card, then immediately forget what was on it. This is completely normal at young ages — working memory capacity develops well into the teenage years. Encourage these children to flip cards slowly, say the number aloud, and point to where they want to remember the card before flipping the next one.
