Directions:
This game is similar to the memory match game played by children. All cards are
turned upside down, and children are allowed to flip over two cards per turn in hopes of
making a match. If a match is made, the cards stay face up; otherwise, the cards get
flipped back upside down. Then the next turn is taken.
In this game, you are matching equivalent units of time, money, distance, volume, or
mass.
1. Follow the link to the website.
2. Click start. Remember, you are attempting to match equivalent units.
3. Click on any card to start, and then click on a second card to try to find a match.
 If a match is made, the pairs will stay facing up.
 If a match is not made, the cards will be flipped back in place, upside
down.
NOTE:
*
Score is being kept on the top right hand corner. You can get negative scores
with incorrect matches
**
The maximum score for any game is 30.
*** You can play up to four different games before the units begin to repeat
themselves.
