Have fun recalling multiplication facts and building a cute gnome with this maths game.

Multiplication Fluency Game

This fun maths game has students recalling multiplication facts, spinning a spinner and piecing together a fun gnome character.

To play, students take turns picking a card from the multiplication card pile. If the player is correct at recalling the multiplication fact they get to spin the spinner and add the selected body part of the gnome to their mat.

The first player to complete their gnome wins.

There are different versions of the game to suit the multiplication fact you are focusing on. They include:

  • facts of 2
  • facts of 3
  • facts of 5 
  • facts of 10

Through this activity, students will show they can recall multiplication facts.
