Math Match is out — a free maths matching game
Math Match is a memory game where every pair is a sum and its answer. Turn two cards over and see if they go together: 7 × 6 and 42, 9 + 4 and 13, 24 ÷ 8 and 3.
It is made for the classroom, the car and the kitchen table — the kind of game that sneaks a bit of number practice into something that still feels like a game.
What you get for free
- All four operations — adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, or a mixed board of all four
- 5 levels, from 3 pairs up to 8 pairs, with bigger numbers as you go
- Big, clear cards, sounds, stars and confetti when the board is cleared
- Best scores saved in your browser, for every operation and level
- Kind maths: subtraction never gives a negative answer and division never leaves a remainder
- A finish card at the end of each round — your time, how many pairs you got right, how many turns went wrong — ready to save as a picture or share with someone
The Supporter Edition ($5, on this same page)
- 10 challenge levels (6–15), up to 24 pairs and numbers into the hundreds
- Times-table focus — practise one table at a time, 2× to 12×, with both the multiplication and the division facts
- Beat the Clock — clear the board before the countdown runs out, with a time bonus for the seconds you save
- Calm mode — no timer at all, for when the clock is the enemy
- A hint button for when a sum will not turn up
- Printable worksheets with answer keys, ready for the photocopier
Built for real classrooms
No ads, no accounts, no tracking. Progress lives in the browser and never leaves the device. It runs on a laptop, a tablet, a phone or the interactive whiteboard — and the Supporter download works completely offline: unzip it, open index.html, and it is there even when the school wifi is not.
One thing worth knowing about the levels
A memory board has to be visible all at once, so on a smaller screen the game deals as many pairs as will fit at a size the sums are still readable at, and tells you when it has done that ("Board fits 18 of 24 pairs on this screen"). On a big screen you play the whole board.
Made in New Zealand
Math Match is part of teaching.nz — free learning games for every device. The Supporter Edition is what keeps the rest of them free.
Try it
The free edition is on this page — grab the download and play a level. If you would like the classroom extras, the Supporter Edition is $5 on the same page.
If you try it with a class, I would love to hear how it goes in the comments: which levels landed best, and what would be worth adding next.
