Problem Solving with Time Tables

 

Students practise problem-solving with time tables using multiplication grids.

More able students are challenged to investigate why certain numbers have an odd number of factors. Less able students can access a 12 by 12 timetable grid.

Differentiated Learning Objectives
  • All students should be able to recall and apply times table facts up to and including 12 × 12
  • Most students should be able to using division as the opposite of multiplication.
  • Some students should be able to calculate all the factors of a number.
