There at two types of cards in the set. You have the penguin number cards and the sorting maths. I recommend printing these on cardstock and laminating them. It will help them last longer.

The set comes with penguins from 1 to 9 in ones, tens and hundreds. This allows you to match them to any combination of the iceberg cards.
