This interactive Reading Decimals Memory Match Game helps students develop their ability to read and interpret decimals in real-world contexts by matching decimal values to how they are said aloud. The activity focuses on building fluency in reading decimals as money and measurements, encouraging peer collaboration, discussion, and the correct use of decimal terminology.

How to Complete:

1. In pairs or small groups, students take turns flipping over two cards, looking for a matching pair. If a match is found (such as $3.75 matches three dollars seventy-five), the player keeps the pair and has another turn.
2. For every match, students must say the decimal aloud correctly before they can keep the pair of cards.
3. The player with the most pairs at the end wins.

Additional Tips:

1. Prompt students to use the correct terminology for each context (money or measurement) when reading the decimals aloud.
2. This game can be used at the beginning or end of a lesson to revise decimals in an engaging way.

Extension Ideas:

1. Timed Challenge: Play multiple rounds and time each group to see who can match all the pairs the fastest.
2. Decimal Hunt: Have groups look for real-world decimals in newspaper, magazines and brochures. Ask them to practise reading the numbers aloud.
