Sample questions

A few real prompts from the game to help you choose an activity for your class.

  1. Put the 3 times table answers in order from smallest to largest.

    • 12
    • 15
    • 6
    • 9
    Read the explanation

    Three times two, three, four and five gives six, nine, twelve, fifteen.

Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Order products of the 3 and 4 tables as patterns (indicator ค 1.2 ป.3/1), order three-digit numbers made from the same digits largest first, and remember the long-division cycle: divide, multiply, subtract, bring down (ค 1.1 ป.3/7).

What's in the worksheet

4 ordering questions - 6, 9, 12, 15 from the 3 times table - 8, 12, 16, 20 from the 4 times table - 540, 450, 405, 354 largest to smallest - Long division steps: divide, multiply, subtract, bring the next digit down

How to use it in class

Use in the lesson that introduces long division, about 5 minutes, team mode. - After Q4, have teams work 84 ÷ 4 on paper, naming each step in the order they just set - For 540, 450, 405, 354, discuss how swapping the 5 and 4 changes the value - Keep "divide, multiply, subtract, bring down" on the board for the whole unit - Play it linked to the class to record results in the mark book

Common sticking points

- In the long-division steps, putting "subtract" before "multiply", not yet seeing that you multiply back to find how much was used. Work a real example step by step - Swapping 405 and 450, which use the same digits. Compare the tens, 0 and 5 - Placing 354 before 405 because its tens digit 5 beats 0; the hundreds must be compared first
