This is a fun resource to introduce the concept of partitioning two-digit numbers visually, by playing a simple game of snap.This resource includes 36 pairs of cards. It is a great game the students can play independently in pairs or as part of a small group rotation.How to play: Invite one student to shuffle the cards and deal them out fairly. The students then take it in turns to place a card down each, shouting ‘SNAP’ if they spot a matching pair (a number card and the corresponding MAB card).Some alternative game ideas students can play using the cards are:

• Memory game – Pick out some pairs of cards and lay them face down on the table, the players take it in turns turning over the cards, to see if they can find a matching pair.
• Simple sorting or sharing activities.
• Odd one out - Place three identical cards on the table with one that is different. Ask the other students to point out the odd one.
• Ten questions - A student chooses one card from the pack. They don’t show anyone, and the other students ask you yes/no questions to determine which card you are holding.
