Recent FB Posts have been asking for ideas on how to help students memorise (and use) multiplication facts.
There are many game type activities that help with this and one of my favourites is the one that follows.
The beauty of this one is it requires thinking and strategy development to win, which in my view is better than more worksheets that do not require this sort of thinking, problem solving.
This game could be played with two teams(pairs). Encouraging teams to play means students will need to discuss the possibilities for placing the paper clips, perhaps blocking opponents etc. Communication in maths is very important.
