Use these as independent activities to play in pairs or small groups or as an adult-led task with opportunities to talk about how to make multiplying (and dividing) easier e.g. 5x4 = 10x4 and halving this. There are so many ways to make multiplying easier and discussing this will help students. Differentiation is easy as there are 3 versions: easier - arrays and calculations arrays and answer harder and great for mental recall - calculations and answers mixing up the cards as an extra challenge Provide manipulatives, times table squares, 100 squares or number lines for extra support if necessary. Students will become more confident and fluent in their mathematical thinking. You will get: 24 cards in 3 Sets: Set 1 – arrays (or grids) and calculations Set 2 – arrays (or grids) and answers Set 3 - calculations and answers teaching notes instructions answers patterns for the backs of cards Great for you: Low-prep - print, cut up cards & you are ready Great for your Maths centres Ideal for Maths lessons A great stand-alone activity Ideal for extra fun times tables and multiplication practice Great for easy-prep fun times table homework Ideal if you need a quick resource e.g. for supply days Great for your students: Popular activities that are easy to do - players are engaged to play and see if other players are correct Opportunities to understand what times tables look like as a picture/ quantity and multiply in fun ways.
