Multiplication Game: "Ten Times Table Jump"
6 Multiplication Game Boards & 40 Game Cards - This 'Ten Times Table Jump' game is a collection of 6 Multiplication Game Boards designed to facilitate the learning of the Ten Times Table in an enjoyable way.
About this Game
A Multiplication Game for the Ten Times Table: Jump is a fast paced enjoyable math game. The students place their fingers on the frog foot prints, wait for the caller to read an algorithm, call out the answer then jump their fingers to the answer. This game is one of the ones students always choose when given free choice of what math game they would like to play.
What You Need:
3 players
1 game board
1 set of ten times table cards
calculators (in their place as a learning tool)
How to Play:
1. Elect a caller for the first round.
2. Players One and Two place their index finger and their middle finger on the footprints on the lily pads ready to leap.
3. Caller shuffles the cards, flips the top card and reads the algorithm to the players.
4. Players work out the algorithm in their minds and then, when they have the answer, ‘jump’ with both their fingers onto the answer.
NB Players must not move until they know the answer.
5. Play a best of 9 competition.
6. The Caller plays the winner of the first round.
7. Play continues in this fashion until a champion is found.
NB - In the second version of the game the caller reads out the answer to the algorithm and the students jump to the actual algorithm.
Variations:
- I love drawing this game board up in chalk on the playground concrete or on the carpet in my classroom. I then have groups of 5 or 6 students play the game where they physically jump on the numbers. It is soooooooo much fun but the students MUST take the responsibility for playing safely.
- When introducing a new set of number facts I insist on all students using calculators as a tool for learning. Ensure the students see automaticity is much more desirable than relying on the calculator.
