• Cut out all the cards on the following page.

Look at the Fast Factors cards on the next page.

Each of the numbers in red is a multiple of the
numbers following it in blue.

The numbers in blue are factors of the number in red.

Once you have cut out all the carts, space the red
numbers out on a table or flat surface. Jumble up
the blue numbers. Now see if you can put all the
blue factors back with their multiples. How quickly can
you complete the game? Time yourself and aim to
beat your record every time you play.

Fast Factors will help your child practise the 2x and

3x table, as well as reinforce the use of the correct
mathematical language.

The multiple of a number is the product of that

number and any other whole number.

A factor is a number that divides exactly (without a

remainder) into a larger number.

• Print off the dominoes – ideally on card.

• Cut out each domino.

The dominoes are placed face down on the table

and mixed up. Each player takes an even number
of dominoes and keeps them hidden from the other
players. The youngest player starts first and places a
domino in the centre of the table. Play then works
around the group in a clockwise direction. Players
must match the number sentences on the dominoes
(in arrays or numbers). If they cannot go, they knock
on the table and play passes to the next player. The
winner is the first person to get rid of all of their
dominoes.

This is a good game for children who have not quite

grasped their times tables yet, as the dots help them

One player needs to call out the times table number

sentences on the tables on the next page. The other

See if you can match up the pairs of times tables

This game is more challenging; you need two players
and one ‘fact checker’.

Put all the Times Tables Pairs cards face down on a

table or flat surface.
The first player starts by turning over any two cards,
letting the other players see the cards. If the times
tables on the two cards do not give the same
answer, they need to turn the cards back.
If the times tables of the two cards turned give the
same answer, they need to say what the answer is.
The ‘fact checker’ checks if they are right using the
answers on the next page. If they are correct, they
can keep the pair of cards.
As the game progresses, both players should try to
memorise where each card is and try to turn the
correct pairs over when it is their turn.

• Cut out the number sentences on the following

page and jumble them up.

Start with a pile of jumbled up number sentences

cards. How fast can you get them back into the right
order?

Time yourself and see if you can beat your time with
your next attempt.

To check your answers, consult the answers sheet.

Arranging number sentences correctly will help your

child practise tricky times tables and see patterns
- for example, 9 x 3 and 3 x 9 have the same
answer.

What’s the Question?

8+ (year 5 onwards)

• Cut up the What’s the Question? cards and jumble

them up. Lay them face down on a flat surface.

This game is played backwards – so you pick a

number and then you have to give a times table
question that matches it. For example, if you picked
up 49 you would need to say: 7 x 7.

You need to play with one other player – it may be

good to play with an adult so they can help you with
questions if you get stuck.

Players are not allowed to use the one times table!

Note to parents: If you want to make the game

harder, see if you can get your child to think about
whether that is the only times table that matches the
number or if there are others. Use the answers cards
to check whether your child is correct.
