Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Recall products for the 1, 2, 3 and 4 times tables from ×1 up to ×12
Recognise that any factor multiplied by zero gives zero, across the ten zero problems on the quiz
Take turns applying an instruction card — moving forward, moving backward, losing a turn or swapping places — during play
Complete sixty facts against a single score out of sixty as a self-measured mastery check
Teaching tips
Cutting is the whole of the prep: one sheet yields sixty pieces, so run it on card stock and cut once for the year.
The eleven action cards can be dealt out or shuffled through the fact cards depending on how much swing you want in the game — four of them move a player forward or backward two spaces.
Give the quiz before and after a run of games; the printed Score ___ / 60 line makes the two attempts directly comparable.
The quiz reaches ×10, ×11 and ×12 while the fact cards stop at 4 × 12, so students meeting twelves for the first time will want the game before the quiz.
Skills covered
Multiplication fact recall — forty-nine playing pieces carry facts from the 1s, 2s, 3s and 4s up to twelve, plus 0 × 12.
Multiplying by zero — the quiz packs ten problems with a zero factor, from 12 × 0 to 3 × 0, where the product is always zero.
Turn-based game play — students act on eleven instruction cards, moving forward one or two spaces, moving backward, losing a turn or switching places with an opponent.
Self-checked mastery — sixty problems scored out of sixty on one page give a single number students can track between attempts.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
What do the sixty cut-out pieces consist of?
Forty-nine of them are multiplication facts — 0 × 12 and then every fact from 1 × 1 up to 4 × 12. The other eleven are instruction cards: Move Forward 1, Move Forward 2, Move Backward 1, Move Backward 2, Lose a Turn and Switch Places with Opponent.
Do the game pieces and the quiz cover the same facts?
They overlap but are not identical. Both draw on the 0 through 4 families, and both reach ×12 — the quiz opens with 12 × 0 and includes 11 × 4 and 12 × 4. The pieces sheet holds each fact once, while the quiz mixes sixty of them into six rows of ten.
How is the pieces sheet repeated in the file?
It appears twice, at pages 4 and 7, worded identically, each preceded by two full-page game illustrations. Printing one copy per pair of players is enough for a game.
