Step 1

Drawing

Draw a large square table.

Divide the square table into 12 vertical columns and 12 horizontal ones.

Step 2

Coloring

Color the table. We choose the cells in the first horizontal column to be different in color from the rest of the table. We do the same for the cells in the first vertical column.

Step 3

Writing and multiplication

In the first cell on the left (left corner) write the multiplication symbol (X).

Then write the numbers in the remaining horizontal cells from 0 to 10.

Do the same in the cells that are located vertical and left: number the cells from 0 to 10.

Then multiply each number in the horizontal column by the numbers in the vertical column and add the resulting number to the corresponding cell.

A step-by-step guide to play the game

1

Make the calculations on the panel CUS_M #1B.

2

After each calculation, find the correct answer on the panel CUS_M #1A.

3

Put a little bit of tape on the back of a bottle cap and stick it to the correct answer.

4

Repeat until all the calculations of a section are finished.

5

If the answers are correct, an object or repetitive pattern will have been formed on the board. Guess what it is.

Extra game information

Both panels have color-coded sections so as to make it easier for children to differentiate between the various levels of difficulty.

Variations

It can also work in reverse. The children can form their own objects and/or patterns and then write down the calculations.


Similar to the panels: MAT-V TIPO-D #5, #6, MAT-N TIPO-M #5, MAT-R TIPO-E #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6 

Specific learning objectives

Become familiar with the basic rules of multiplication.
