Target Sum Match

Select Two Cards That Add Up to the Given Number!

Learning Concepts :

  • Number Bonds: Number bonds are pairs of numbers that combine to make a given total. In this game, students practice finding pairs that add up to the target sum.
  • Mental Math: By selecting number pairs quickly, students enhance their mental calculation and number fluency.
  • Commutative Property of Addition: The order of numbers doesn’t change the sum. For example:

7 + 3 = 10

3 + 7 = 10

  • Strategic Thinking: Players must scan and plan combinations rather than choosing randomly, developing problem-solving skills.

Example: If the target is 15, and you see cards with 9 and 6, you can select them because 9 + 6 = 15.
