Spiral Cards show a square and the area, with a question mark for a missing side length.
Arrow Cards show a verbal expression.

I used this cart set during an observation and my administrator was amazed at the amount of engagement I got from my students! I loved how the card sets could be used to play 4 different games, which helps build fluency with repetition. I only wish the perfect squares went to 400. Overall, I highly recommend this resource!
