FORMULA PAIR HUNT

ABOUT THIS GAME
About this game
Connect each shape with a formula.
Some cards name a shape and measurement; others show formulae.
Choose two cards. A correct combination completes a pair.
Connect a formula with the shape it describes, rather than memorising it in isolation.
Find all eight pairs. Play again to strengthen your recall.
POINT
