10ticks Press Area     Multiplication. As with any of the basic number topics keeping them fresh and alive is very important. The wider the variety of teaching styles and approaches pupils meet the more enjoyable these topics become. Working on the principle that the best way to distract from a repeated function is in the form of a game or puzzle, here is a game and a puzzle! Number Golf is a game using multiplication and subtraction/addition. Negative numbers are introduced in the form of a ball shooting past a hole, but it then becomes a positive when shooting back towards the hole. This means there are no complex calculations involved. Pupils have a set of golf clubs (1, 2, 3 and 7), they pre-select a club and roll the die. The product is the distance the ball is hit. This is subtracted from the distance of the course and repeated until the ball is sunk in the hole. An important issue here is recording the shots in a table, a). to get pupils into good record keeping habits, b). to build up the complexity of the task. For the better class you may want to create pars for each hole. Be warned this is introducing more negative numbers in to the equation! Now pupils can achieve a championship score for the course and it becomes a whole class competition, rather than a head to head. You might let the pupil select which 4 clubs they take on the course. To make it easier you may let the pupil decide which club to play after the die has been rolled. They will even come up with their own versions. Multiple Maze (6, 7, 8 & 9). is a straight forward maze activity using knowledge of the times tables. Each animal will follow multiples for either 6, 7, 8 or 9 to a toy, but which multiple and to which toy? Movement can be vertical or horizontal, but not diagonal. There are plenty of wrong trails all over the board. Pupils should colour in routes to remind themselves of the correct answer.
