Bottle caps in two different colours

A step-by-step guide to play the game

Attach MATHEMATICS R E2 next to MATHEMATICS 2 on the mobile school.

Play the game with two players or two groups of players: A and B (each with a different colour of bottle caps).

Organise a competition.

The players start with the first exercise of their series and speak their exercises out loud (e.g. 2 x 4 = two times four).

After this, they look at the multiplication table and search for the result of their multiplication (see Additional game info).

When found, they place a bottle cap on the result.

The players then continue with the other exercises.

The first player or team who completes the entire pattern wins the game.

Extra game information

The player must start searching for the first number of the multiplication (e.g. 3) in the table indicated by the arrow (vertical table). He then goes looking for the second number of the multiplication (e.g. 1) in the horizontal table. The two numbers (3 x 1) now must be combined to look for the result inside of the multiplication table. This can be done by following the row of number 3 (vertical table) until you reach of the row number 1 (horizontal table).

Variations

The players calculate the results of the multiplications without looking at the multiplication table to make the game more difficult.
