Searching for 9x
This fun and engaging game can be used to reinforce students' knowledge of the nine times tables. Students spin and then write the matching equation inside one of the triangles. Each time they spin, they continue to write the equation in the triangle (don’t forget your turn arounds). After it has been written 3 times, the triangle is then coloured. The activity stops when 10 triangles have been coloured.
This activity is fantastic for fast finishers or for numeracy rotations. For convenience, it has been made in colour and B & W.
