Times Table Speed Card Sorting Game
Simple against the clock sorting game for students to practice times tables.
Print onto card and get students to cut them out.
To play the game:
1) Turn cards upside down and mix them around
2) Begin turning them over and sorting them into the correct order when the stopwatch starts.
3) Record your time for each day of the week.
4) Keep cards in an envelope ready to play the following day.
I print one set for each pair of students in my class and they play as a teams against the other students in the class. (cooperative, social constructivist learning etc.) But can also be used as an individual fast finisher game.
Provided are cards for the 4 times table, as that is what my class are learning this week, but very easy to edit for any times table.
Provided three versions:
one with the 'x symbol, multiplicand. & = symbol' on one card (least number of pieces) [this version also includes 4 wrong answers to make it a little more difficult] ,
one with 2 digit product on one card (harder),
and one with each digit on separate cards (hardest, and also easiest for them to lose cards of ;-))
