This is a set of memory cards to reinforce the Properties of Real Numbers. Students need to match a Set A, B and C card together. It includes the following: Set A: A green card back, with each of the names of the Properties of numbers. Set B: A purple card back and each Property of Numbers rule. Set C: An orange card back and an example of each of the Properties of Numbers. Should you think that matching three cards together is a bit tricky for your students, Set B and C can be joined together as Set B and an extra set of Set A need to be printed. This would mean that the name is matched with a rule OR an example and there would be 16 pairs to match instead of 8 sets of three. Properties of Real Numbers posters is also included in this set.
