About Math Squares

Math Squares is a memory-card puzzle with a maths rule: pair a value X with X × X. Instead of looking for two identical pictures, you need to remember card positions and recognise the relationship between the values. The supplied description also mentions factor-based multiplication for harder squares.

Calculate, then remember the position

When you reveal a number, work out its square before turning attention to the next card. Remembering the position of a useful result is as important as calculating it correctly.

Use known squares as anchors

Start with values you recognise confidently. Each confirmed pair reduces the number of remaining positions to track. For an unfamiliar value, break the multiplication into manageable parts rather than guessing the match.

Your first attempt

How to play Math Squares

To play Math Squares, begin by clicking or tapping any two cards on the grid to reveal their hidden numbers. Your task is to identify a pair where one card shows a number 'X' and the other displays its square, 'X*X'. If the cards match, they will disappear from the board. If they don't, they will flip back over, and you'll need to remember their positions for future turns. Continue matching pairs until the entire grid is clear to complete the level and advance.

Math Squares tips

Focus on memorizing card positions, especially when a pair doesn't match.
