Times Tables game recommendation

Eren has sent in a link to a great web page for practising your tables. It works just like those magnetic words that you find on some people's fridges. Have a look at...

Thanks Eren!

Know your countries of Europe!

Here's the link to the game that will help you to learn the countries of Europe:

The first person to demonstrate that they can spot all of the countries correctly (with three or fewer mistakes) will win a prize!

Get learning those countries!

Some more games to help you prepare for the Times Tables Challenge

Just for Eren - and anybody else who found the other times tables games a teensy bit boring, here's a couple of links to some hopefully more captivating games:

Let me know if these are more to your liking!

Multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100

Here's the link to the game we played in maths this morning.

Have a go and see if you can get all of the answers right. Remember to use the arrow buttons to shift all of the digits to the left (multiplying) or to the right (dividing).

Times Tables Practice

Here's a couple of links to some games to help you practise your times tables.

The first one is my Times Tables Challenge. Choose the tables you want to be tested on and see how many you can get right in 30 seconds:

The next is called 'Hit the Answer' and it's a great way of practising knowing the questions that go with each times tables answer (there's also some doubles and halves on there too):

Remember - aim to get to Bronze, Silver or Gold level when I next test you on your tables.

Can you find more patterns that will enable you to predict how many bounces will occur for any snooker table? Send a comment if you discover a new pattern.
