How to play IQSnap Arithmetic

IQSnap is a card game in which you test your skill at matching numbers to make 'Snaps'. This version of the game is designed to develop skills in arithmetic and numeracy: adding, subtracting, multipying and dividing.

You can choose:

• what kind of sums you want on the question cards (add, take away, multiply, divide);
• the range of numbers to use (give the lowest and highest numbers). In division, the 'dividend' is the number that is divided, and the 'divisor' is the number you divide by.
• how many question cards you want to make.

When you have made your choices, click on "Start" to begin the game and a 'deck' of question cards will be created with your sums. Then click the "Play" button to show the first question card.

Beneath the question card, successive answer cards will appear. When you see the right answer, click the "Snap" button. If you are right, the next question card will be played. If you are wrong, the answer cards will continue to be played - but with any answers you wrongly chose taken away.

You can also:

• click the "Play" button during play to skip to the next question
• click the "End game" button to end the game and see your score,

You score points as follows:

• win a point for every correct Snap;
• lose a point for every incorrect snap (unless you turn this feature off)
• if you skip a sum, you get no score.

To start again at the end of a game click the "Start" button. You can also use the "Start" button during play - this brings your current game to a end without showing your score.

Instead of clicking the "Play", "Snap" and "End game" buttons, you can use the following keyboard shortcuts:

• for "Play" press P / p;
• for "Snap" press S / s or the spacebar;
• for "End game" press E / e.
