This resource is designed to consolidate students learning when it comes to multiplication and division facts. Ideally, you would have already provided students with many hands-on, visual opportunities to explore how to calculate division and multiplication questions.
Once students have a solid understanding of these operations (multiplication + division), these games are a perfect game to play to develop students’ mental math skills further.
Spot the Number can be used for morning activities, lesson warm-ups, transitions, whole class or small group activities. Pretty much, they can be used anytime during the school day.
HOW THE GAME WORKS:
- Print out the algorithm cards. You may choose to print on different colours for easy identification.
- Print the accompanying board game, and your students are ready to play. This game can be played independently, or with 2– 4 players.
- Players take turns to flip over an algorithm card and try to spot the answer on the gameboard.
- Once found, they cover the answer with a counter on the gameboard and place thealgorithm card in the discard pile.
- If students can’t find the answer, they turn the card back over, and the next player takes a turn. The winner is the person with the most counters on the game board.
WHAT’S INCLUDED:
• How to play
• x /÷ 2 – 12 gameboard
• x /÷ 2 – 12 algorithm cards
DIFFERENTIATION TIPS:
This game is an ideal one to play with mixed-ability groups. We suggest only printing the games students feel confident solving mentally, such as 2,5,10, and adding more games.
