The ‘code’ has the fractions of amounts question so the student can scan the code, record the question (eg 6/7 of 42g) and answer to the question, and look for that answer.
Once they have the card with that answer they then scan that ‘code’ and continue with the same steps until they find all of the answers.

In this download there are four sets of similar cards and a student chooses one of the sets and sorts them into order by answering the questions. Then they try to do it faster using a different set, which has the same questions, but a different sort order.
Cut out card size is approx 65 x 90 mm.
