Make Four- 9x

This fun and engaging game can be used to reinforce students' knowledge of the nine times tables. Students simply roll the dice to move around the board. Each time they land on a number they must write the product under the matching equation. Once the student gets four equations in a row, they can colour the column or row. The first player to colour a row or a column wins!
This activity is fantastic for fast finishers or for numeracy rotations. For convenience, it has been made in colour and B & W.

Learning goals

  • We are learning to recognise and explain the connection between multiplication and division as inverse operations and use this to develop families of number facts.
  • We are learning to recall multiplication facts for 3, 4, 5 and 10 and apply this to related division facts.
  • We are learning to recall multiplication facts up to 10 x 10 and related division facts, developing efficient mental strategies.
  • We are learning to recall multiplication facts for twos and apply to related division facts using doubling and halving.
  • We are learning to recognise and represent multiplication as repeated addition, groups and arrays.
  • We are learning to divide a set of objects into equal sized groups to solve simple problems.
  • We are learning to explore number sequences by twos, threes, fives and tens from any starting point.
  • We are learning to recall multiplication facts of two, three, five and ten and related division facts.
  • We are learning to recall multiplication facts up to 10 × 10 and related division facts.
  • We are learning to find unknown quantities in number sentences involving multiplication and division and identify equivalent number sentences involving multiplication and division.
