About This Product

St Patricks Day 3 Times Table Matching Game - Printable

This fun and festive teaching resource is perfect for instilling a love of multiplication times tables in children from Grade 1 to Grade 4.

Game Design

The game aims to hone students' multiplication skills, particularly focusing on the number three. The package includes printable cards displayed with both multiplication facts and their corresponding solutions. As an added benefit, an array of printing options are available for the card backs to cater for differing teacher preferences in regard to color ink or toner usage.

How To Play

  • Solo Play: Shuffle the cards and lay them face down in a grid formation. Turn over two cards at a time attempting to find matching pairs. Set aside correct pairs until all have been identified.
  • Multi-player Mode: Players take turns uncovering matches. Successful matches mean they retain control, continuing until all possible match pairs have been discovered.

Detailed Instructions & Additional Resources

The resource bundle includes an easy-to-use clickable index page coupled with comprehensive information outlining preparation steps for teachers. Further tips are provided on how difficulty can be adjusted by selecting fewer card pairings when dealing with younger or struggling learners.
