Factors and Multiples printable worksheet - game
Factors and Multiples printable worksheet - puzzle
On thisresources page there are printable 1-100 square grids.

This is a game for two players.

The first player chooses a positive even number that is less than 50, and crosses it out on the grid.

The second player chooses a number to cross out. The number must be a factor or multiple of the first number.

Players continue to take it in turns to cross out numbers, at each stage choosing a number that is a factor or multiple of the number just crossed out by the other player.
The first person who is unable to cross out a number loses.
Play a few times to get a feel for the game.
Do you have any winning strategies?
Here is an interactive version of the game in which you drag the numbers from the left hand grid and drop them on the right hand grid. Alternatively, click on a number in the left hand grid and it will transport to the earliest empty location in the right hand grid. You can rearrange the numbers in the right hand grid by dragging and dropping them in position. The integer in the top right hand corner grows with the number of factors/multiples you have in a row.
Now for a collaborative challenge...
Rather than playing against a partner, it's time to work together with them to find the longest sequence of numbers that can be crossed out.

Can you cross out more than half the numbers? How are you approaching this challenge to try and make your sequence as long as possible?

You might find this sheet useful, which includes the instructions for this collaborative task with a 100 square.

In this lesson, students use their understanding of fraction/ decimal conversions to create mandala-like artwork. The number line of decimals from 0-1 in thousandths are stretched around a circle creating a "decimal circle". Students decide on the fractions and corresponding decimals they want to use for their design. For example, thirds, fourths and ninths. By locating the thirds around the circle and connecting the endpoints, they create an equilateral triangle. The fourths create a square and ninths a nonagon. Non-terminating decimals are an excellent evaluation point as the location of 0.33 and 0.333... are not the same.

Stars with 5 points or more can be created by connecting each point in the set of fractions with all the other points.

Layering polygons with more sides in the background is best as they occupy more area than polygons with fewer sides as demonstrated in the slides below.

After students know about converting fractions to decimals, have them practice the "Practice Page" so they know how to create all the shapes they may want to use. After that, they can use the decimal circle to create their own artwork using fractions of their choosing. Be sure they use at least one set of fractions with non-terminating decimals to evaluate if they understand the location of these numbers on the number line.

After learning about the artist and analyzing his work through a PowerPoint, students began drawing their own designs using a pencil, protractor, and ruler. Next day, students outlined their design with sharpie, and started coloring with colored pencil. I had several students tell me this was the most favorite project they've ever done... they are easy to please! Some of their design are very mathematical.

Steps when constructing an angle with protractor:

Draw a straight line (an arm of the angle).

Place a dot at one end of the arm.

This dot represents the vertex of the angle.

Place the centre of the protractor at the vertex dot and the baseline of the protractor along the

arm of the angle.

Find the required angle on the scale and then mark a small dot at the edge of the protractor.

Join the small dot to the vertex with a ruler to form the second arm of the angle.

Label the angle with capital letters.

Be mindful of the left-handed child, they should be able to use protractor if theirs has numbers going clockwise and anti-clockwise but take extra time to ensure they can use theirs proficiently.

Can you do it now?

Can you show by calculation that the angle is a right angle?

What do you notice about the side of the triangle opposite the right angle?

Try this with other numbers of points round the edge.

When is it possible to make a right-angled triangle?

In this interactivity, the points are equally spaced around a circle. Imagine that they are not.

Can you explain the conditions which will give a right-angled triangle?

Can you prove this?

At Timestables.com you can easily practice all of your tables. The arithmetic problems are clear and simple so you can immediately get started on practicing your tables. Select one of the multiplication table you wish to practice from the list below and show what you can do on the speed test or printout great worksheets.

Which multiplication table do you want to learn?

Speed test and multiplication tables diploma.

Multiplication games

Choose the table you want to practice from the following. First you can practice the multiplication facts in sequence and once you have got the hang of that you can practice all the sums in random order for each table. If you have forgotten any answers, just go back to the 'all tables in sequence' page and practice them again thoroughly before trying again.

Once you have got the hang of a number of tables you can select the speed test and choose the tables you want to practice getting quicker at. If you make a mistake, you came see what the right answer is at the end of the test. This will help you learn all of your tables. The speed test is good practice for getting your tables diploma. On the tables diploma the questions are a bit quicker than on the speed test, but if you get all of them right you will get your tables diploma. There are two tables diplomas. The little diploma is made up of 30 questions. Your little diploma shows you can do the 1,2,3,4,5 and 10 times tables. For the big tables diploma you are given 40 questions which include all the tables from 1 to 12.

Learn the multiplication tables in an interactive way with the free math multiplication learning games for 2rd, 3th, 4th and 5th grade. The game element in the times tables games make it even more fun learn.

Practice your multiplication tables

Here you can find additional information about practicing multiplication tables at primary school. The 1 times table, 2 times table, 3 times table, 4 times table, 5 times table and 10 times table are the first times tables to be learned. The 6 times table, 7 times table, 8 times table, 9 times table, 11 times table, 12 times table and of course all the tables in random order are the next step.

Not every child finds it easy to learn all the tables, so it is a good idea to keep on practicing them regularly after you learned them. There are a few tricks which make it easier to learn the tables and continue to master them, such as putting the smallest number first, which makes it easier for many children to answer correctly. For example 4 x 9 is easier to work out than 9 x 4. Switching the multiplication sum around makes it easier to answer. What also often helps is to use the tables you know well for answering the sums in the more difficult tables. One example of this is 6 x 7, which is often said to be tricky. If you do 5 x 7 first and then add 1 x 7 it is suddenly easier to answer. You can do this the other way round too. For instance with 4 x 7 you can do 5 x 7 first then subtract 1 x 7.

Why do we put so much effort into learning tables? Well, the multiplication tables keep on coming up in the next primary school years and even when you're at secondary school. You don't see them as tables, but as part of bigger mathematical problems. And it isn't only at school, but in your everyday life it is useful to know your times tables well so you can quickly work things out, for instance when you are buying or selling vegetables on the market. If you have any questions, comments or ideas for Timestables.com, please use our contact form. We'd be glad to hear from you.

The 5-step plan

Learn the times tables with the 5-step plan. We developed an innovative five step plan to help pupils learn the times tables in an effective and efficient way. This method has been tested at several schools and is recommended by teachers.
The steps are:

Step 1a: View, read aloud and repeat. To get familiar with the table.

Step 1b: Fill in your times tables answers in sequence and check if you got them all right.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I learn my times tables fast?
Learn them in chunks. Start with the easy times tables like 10, 2, and 5. Use methods like skip counting, adding and exercising daily for 15 minutes for a maximum long-term result.

What is the hardest times table in the world?
The 7 times table is the hardest to learn because 7 is a prime number, and so the last digit does not repeat itself until 10 times 7. The hardest times table question is 6 times 8.

Which times table is the easiest?
The 10 times table is one of the easiest to learn. For a start, numbers in the 10 times table always end in a 0. And then the 5 and the 2 multiplication tables are also one of the easiest.

Players choose a marker and place it on the 0 square of a hundred board. Players take turns to throw two dice (concrete or onscreen), say the associated fact, and then move that many squares. The winner is the first player to reach 100. Note: The game can be made more complex by adding rules. For example, if a player lands on a number ending in 0, they have to go back two squares.

Two students stand while the rest of the class (the ‘world’) remains seated. A caller says a number fact and both students call out an answer. The first student to answer correctly is the winner and remains standing while the other sits down. The next person in line stands up to compete against the winner. Play continues until every student has competed. The winner is the last student standing. In the event of a tie, call another fact

Decide on one of the multiplication tables to use for the activity (e.g. 4 times table). Make everyone stand up. One child counts "1". The child to his left then counts "2". The next child counts "3" and so on. When the children reach a multiple of four, they have to say "BUZZ". If anyone forgets to say BUZZ or says BUZZ in the wrong place, they are out and they must sit down. Try playing the game using two multiplication tables. For example, say BUZZ when they reach a multiple of four, and say FIZZ when they reach a multiple of five. If they reach a multiple of four and five e.g. 20, say FIZZBUZZ
