11 Times Tables - Join Up
Maths Resource Description
Get ready for a fun and educational game that will help you master the 11 times table! "Join Up" is a game that requires players to use their multiplication skills to match pairs of numbers on a specially designed 'Products of 11' board. You'll need some counters to play, and the aim is to cover two numbers on the board where one number is the product of the other number multiplied by 11. For example, you could cover the numbers 4 and 44, since 4 multiplied by 11 equals 44. The numbers you choose to cover do not have to be adjacent on the board, providing flexibility and strategy to your gameplay.
The goal of the game is to be the first player to cover five numbers that form a line, which can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. The challenge doesn't stop there; you can also play the game using division. In this variation, you cover two numbers where one number divided by 11 equals the other number. "Join Up" is not only engaging but also a fantastic way to enhance your understanding of multiplication and division with the number 11. It's a perfect classroom or home activity for anyone looking to strengthen their arithmetic skills in a playful manner. So gather your counters, get your board ready, and enjoy the thrill of becoming a times tables champion!
