2, 5, 10 Times Tables – DOMINO Games with Arrays for Maths Fact Fluency

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.

• Set 1 – arrays (or grids) and calculations
