4 Times Tables - Go Solo

The "Go Solo" activity is a fun and interactive way to practice the 4 times tables using a colourful approach. To get started, you'll need some coloured pencils and a copy of the "Products of 4 Board". The objective is to pair up numbers where one number, when multiplied by 4, equals the second number in the pair. For instance, you might select the colour blue to connect the numbers 5 and 20, since 5 multiplied by 4 equals 20. Once you find all instances of this pair on the board, colour them in blue. Then, choose a different colour and look for a new set of pairs to colour. The game continues until every number on the board is paired with its corresponding factor or product, creating a vibrant mosaic of coloured pairs that visually reinforces the multiplication connections.

The "Products of 4 Board" presents a grid filled with various numbers. Some of these numbers are multiples of 4, and others are potential factors. As you scan the grid, you'll identify pairs such as 8 and 32, or 6 and 24, and colour them with your chosen pencils. This hands-on activity not only aids in solidifying knowledge of the 4 times tables but also enhances pattern recognition and multiplication skills. By the end of the game, you will have created a visual representation of the 4 times tables, making it easier to remember and recall these essential math facts in the future.
