Times Tables Visual Game

Subsitizing Cards are up there with the best ways to learn times tables!

This is a fantastic resource for assessing whether children know their times tables (and that they also understand the concept of repeated addition).

Subsitizing means counting, without counting.

You can use each times table on it’s own or mixed. The children split the cards between the players and when they play their card, the first person to say the correct answer gets the point. it’s very useful to have a referee armed with a times table grid to ensure the children are getting the answers correct ( the referee is also employing a very useful technique when checking the answers). That’s one of the things that makes it so effective because the game can be played alongside the use of other useful techniques. The children’s competitive edge masks the learning of times tables.
