In this simple memory game, students were encourage to work together, exploring mathematical patterns.
Students from each group have four 15-second opportunities to look at and 'memorize' a printed sheet of related mathematical patterns. The groups then have to reproduce the information they've seen on the sheet for themselves.
The principle behind the activity is that the sheet is easier to reproduce by using mathematical insight than by trying to remember the whole thing 'cold'.
