In all cards, the answer box is moved to different places in the equations so that students really think about the numbers and the equality and not just the answer. The first 19 cards focus on balancing equations using addition, subtraction and one digit multiplication. The last 16 cards focus on balancing equations including parentheses, addition, subtraction and multiplication. An 'edgier' skateboard-themed background to appeal to older students. The cards use fill in the blank as well as drag and drop questions.
