Finding the Equation – X12 Times Table

Use this bright, colourful and engaging board game to develop problem solving skills in your students. This Finding the Equation board game is great for reinforcing knowledge of the 12 times table. Students spin the spinner and answer the equation they land on, the first player to cover 10 correct answers is the winner. Laminate all 12 gameboards for a quick and effective maths rotations activity or use the black and white versions that students can decorate themselves.

Suitable as a fast finisher activity or for math rotations.

  • We are learning to express numbers as products of their factors, identify multiples and apply divisibility rules to large numbers.
  • We are learning to create and use algorithms using multiple steps to experiment with factors, multiples and divisibility and identify and describe emerging patterns.
  • We are learning to identify and describe factors and multiples of whole numbers and use them to solve problems.
  • We are learning to solve practical problems involving natural and rational numbers and percentages in financial contexts.
