What is included

  • Full instructions

Learning goals

  • Develop automatic recall of all times tables facts, including the trickier ones!
  • Build confidence in mathematical skills

Suggested use

Students take turns to answer a mixed times table question of a card and if they get it right, they get a point. If they don’t, however, they have to choose a Dare card and do what ever it says! The dares include “Act like a chicken”, “Sing I’m a little teapot with the actions” and “Perform a 30 second ballet” so they are fun and child appropriate but can be a little noisy. The kids will love it though and will quickly master the times tables!
