12 Times Tables - Go Solo

The "Go Solo" activity is an engaging way for children to practice their 12 times tables using a colourful and interactive method. To participate, each child requires coloured pencils and a copy of the 'Products of 12 Board', which is filled with numbers. The objective is to identify pairs of numbers where one number is a factor and the other is the product of multiplying by 12. For instance, a child might select the colour blue to pair the numbers 5 and 60, as 5 multiplied by 12 equals 60. They would then proceed to colour all instances of this pair on the board with the chosen colour.

After completing one set of pairs, the child chooses a new colour and searches for a different set of numbers that also adhere to the 12 times table rule. The activity continues until all numbers on the board have been paired correctly, with each unique pair coloured differently. This hands-on approach not only reinforces multiplication skills but also helps with number recognition and the concept of factors and products. The 'Go Solo' game, originating from Buzzard Publishing's 'Get The Buzz Games For Tables', offers a fun and educational exercise for children to solidify their understanding of the 12 times tables.
