Teachers’ Notes These maths games are an ideal resource to bring students up to speed with their number skills, particularly in multiplication. Many students who fail to grasp the basics continue to struggle with maths as they move into the upper levels and into secondary education.

Students are usually reluctant to complete pages of multiplication sums that often bear no meaning for them. Through the use of the games included in this book, the teacher will be providing appealing and challenging learning opportunities that will inspire students to master their knowledge of times tables and basic number facts.

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

An opportunity to talk with peers about a maths focus in an “incidental” setting makes learning more meaningful and consolidates understandings. Using games fosters confidence that many children lack when approaching mathematical tasks. These games are suitable for several different age groups according to their needs.

ew i ev Pr

All games have clear and simple instructions so that interest is maintained. They may be used in a variety of ways: in small groups; in pairs; in class sessions with several different games, and the groups rotate; for “early finishers”; as a homework exercise to be shared in a family setting; in libraries as a lunchtime activity; in special education units; for peer tutoring; as a class resource for revision and consolidation; as an activity for observing mathematical thinking, skills and strategies.

Games may be laminated in A3 or A4 size, preferably on coloured card. Cards with images (junior levels) can be coloured in prior to laminating. Templates are included allowing for teachers to add their own numbers and so on.

o c . che e r o t r s super

A copy of the answers (see tables charts on Page 56) should be made available so that any student who is still becoming familiar with the material, or who has difficulty with the multiplication concepts, is able to play confidently. This is also helpful for children who know most of the answers, but still have trouble with one or two sections. The teacher or parent may gradually guide the child to become less dependent on the answer sheets as they become more confident. Answers are included in the back of the book and can be increased to A3 size for ease of use. They can also be cut out and stapled together to form a Times Tables reference booklet.

These games are also popular with families, as they engage siblings at different maths levels in an enjoyable activity.

Wherever these games are played, children are thinking mathematically!

Each player has a different coloured counter. Roll the dice. If you land on an empty space, stay there until your next roll. If you land on a space with a number, work out how many 1’s are in that number.

You may then move that many more spaces. For example, if you land on 5, you may go 5 more spaces, then follow any arrows you land on. First to the end wins.

Teaching Points for the FFollowing ollowing Games These games range in ability from junior primary to the upper levels and are ideal for students who need extra practice with number skills.

There are a number of ways they can be used within the classroom setting. The rules can be changed according to the amount of working time available and the ability level of the card. The games can be used with all levels depending on the abilities of the students. They are sequenced according to the level of difficulty.

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

If being used during a games session the games can continue until a student has gathered the most tokens at the end of the given time. If the games are being used as an early finisher activity then the rules can be changed so as the winner is declared after the first person wins a token.

Instructions

Junior Games

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

Instructions are given at the top of each card. Each card requires two dice, a set of counters and a set of tokens. There is no limit as to how many people play the game at one time.

These have been illustrated with images to make them more appealing for the lower grades. Ask the students to colour them in before they are laminated.

Template

A template has been included on Page 55. Ideally, this sheet can be enlarged onto card and laminated.

The teacher can then write numbers on in coloured markers allowing for re-use and variety. Older students may even like to write the numbers in themselves.

Answer Sheets for Times TTables ables (1-12) For ease of use, students can create booklets by cutting along the lines below and stapling each set of answers together in order from 1-12. Alternatively, the tables can be enlarged and photocopied onto coloured card for display around the room. As students become less reliant on the tables, they can be slowly phased out of view.
