Are you looking for times table activities to practice multiplication? These fun domino Maths games include arrays, calculations and answers (great for mental recall) & will get your students excited about practicing 2, 5 & 10 times tables to get quicker and more confident at working out calculations accurately and efficiently. Using the versions with the arrays (or grids) and calculations will illustrate what for example 5x3 looks like as a quantity. So often students learn their times tables by rote but have no feeling about what these numbers mean. Seeing these as arrays will make that step from pictures to abstract Maths easier Encourage students to discuss strategies they are using to clarify their thinking - you can find ideas about this in my Patterns & Tips Freebie resource. 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. Using the grids and arrays will help them to understand and secure this key Maths skill of multiplication and what it means rather than (only) reciting times tables by rote - an important step in Maths. Learning together and games with a competitive element help students stay engaged Please leave a review if you like this resource as it will help others to find it.Thank you.
