Same but Different Cards

These colorful cards will inspire dynamic mathematical conversations. Using photographs, illustrations, equations and more each card features a content-rich image comparison. Ask students to explore the math by asking "What is the same? What is different?" about the two images. The ensuing mathematical discussions allow conceptual understanding and connections between mathematical ideas. Display the cards for whole-class instruction, set them up in centers or use for small-group instruction. Each set includes a total of 92 cards; 30 cards in each of the three domains listed below as well as two blank cards to create your own images. Each card measures 4" x 6".
