Cut out the cards below and mix them up. Turn the cards
face down and spread them out. After you play, make the
game more challenging by adding cards of your own.

To Play:

With a partner: Take turns. One player turns over two cards. If
they show equal units of length, then they match. Players keep
the matches they make. The player with the most cards after all
cards have been chosen is the winner.
Think about the strategies you can use to find matching units.
