Abstract: The present invention is a mathematical skills game that uses a self-correcting method to enable self-learning of basic math skills. A board or other medium includes several card receiving members for receiving a card therein. A mathematical expression or a number is printed on a plurality of cards. Likewise a number or mathematical expression is associated with each card receiving member. The user determines which card matches the mathematical expression or number associated with the card receiving member. A pattern may be printed on both the medium and cards so that when the card is placed in the proper recessed area, the pattern on the card is in alignment with the pattern on the medium. If the pattern on the card does not align with the pattern on the medium, the user is then able to determine that the card has not been placed in the proper recessed area and may take the steps necessary to correct the error. An alternative embodiment includes card receiving pockets.
