8. Calculate and Match (Dutch: Rekenduo)
The calculation is divided in four parts of different calculation themes
Basic countings (pink), context (blue), measures and geometry (green) and relations between figures (orange)
Every match contains a question and an answer, that’s a match
You start with all the cards face up
Later you can play face down as memory
With the answerpapers de players can check themselves
It’s activating co-operative working between players
Players are surprised about their progress
The games are made in four levels

10. Cijferstorm Cards with numbers from 1 till 20
The level of the players determined the numbers to use
Colors are not important, they will be used with another variety.
Every player gets 10 cards
All the other cards are stacked in the middle and one card will be opened, that’s the target.
The player left is starting with the opened card
This player has to count with his cards (using 2, 3 or 4 cards) and has to reach the target.
The last card is the new target for the next player.
The player that played all his cards out (no cards left) is the winner

12. Cijferstorm, the math game
Like the card game
Extra: the parenthesis can also be used
Four levels
Two playing times, 180 sec or 360 sec
