Play and Learn your Times Tables

Rules of the Multiplication Matching game

The purpose of the Matching Game is to memorize the locations of the cards in the game and to make pairs of cards by turning them over 2 by 2. If you turn over the Multiplication Card and the corresponding Result Card, it's a pair! You win the pair and you can play again, otherwise the cards are automatically turned face down and you have to make a new try.

Every time you start a new game, a random selection and a random positioning of the cards ensure you a different game than the previous one, so you can play as many times as you want!
