Divisibility Rules Games, Posters & Booklet BUNDLE
Do your KS3 & GCSE Foundation maths students enjoy revising maths topics? Mine didn’t either, so I created this printable board game that have them asking for more! Your students will enjoy answering questions that cover topics including percentage of a number, adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions, area and circumference of circles, mean mode median range, and other algebra, geometry, and statistics topics, all while keeping things light with fun jokes.
Includes solutions to save you valuable time and a template for your students to create their own question cards to deepen their understanding. This was a game-changer for my students - they loved taking ownership of their learning and creating challenging questions for their classmates! We made the cards throughout the year and then play when we have some time to fill or need a break.
Why play maths games with older students?
High school can be a tough time for students’ engagement with maths. Here’s where maths games can come in! They offer a bunch of advantages that go beyond just rote memorization:
Games make learning fun! This can be a game-changer (pun intended) for your students who find traditional maths drills boring. Engagement fuels a desire to learn and participate.
Many maths games target specific skills, like fractions, decimals, or pre-algebra. By playing repeatedly, students practice and solidify these concepts in a low-pressure environment.
Maths games often involve challenges that require strategic thinking and creative solutions. This strengthens critical thinking and problem-solving muscles that benefit students in all areas, not just maths.
Games can cater to different learning styles, allowing students to grasp concepts in a way that works best for them. This can be a big help for students who struggle with traditional methods.
Games provide a space to experiment and make mistakes without fear of penalty. This encourages students to take risks and develop a “growth mindset” about maths.
In short, maths games can turn maths from a chore into an engaging and enriching experience for your high schoolers.

Game Board(2-page printable in colour or B&W)

Blank Question Card Template (students create their own questions!)

How it works:
For those who struggle to recall times tables, it is useful to provide strategies to help them to calculate the answer efficiently. This can be done by building on the table known as key facts: 1x, 2x, 5x and 10x tables.
This resource introduces the concept using cards which have counters arranged in groups of 7, repeated addition, multiplication and finally the solution. This thinking can easily be extended to find solutions outside the normal times tables e.g. 15 x 7 can be calculated using (10x7) + (5x7).
When students are comfortable using the cards to support the 7x table, they can use the 5x + 2x method to complete the 7x table row of the multiplication chart.
