GAME
I am 250, Who is 12x12?
Everyone in the class is given a card with a statement such as "I am 250, who is 12x12?". The person who is 144 speaks up next by reading their own card.
The game finishes when everyone has read out their card.This could be an exercise in making no errors or it could be a speed test.
Alternatively, each person could be given a card and asked to get into a circle standing next to the people who hold the next cards in the sequence.

How did you use this resource? Can you suggest how teachers could present or develop these ideas?
"Thank you so much for your wonderful site. I have so much material to use in class and inspire me to try something a little different more often. I am going to show my maths department your website and encourage them to use it too. How lovely that you have compiled such a great resource to help teachers and pupils.
Thanks again"*Amy Thay, Coventry

"This is a fab website I love the follow me card generator. Could you extend it to multiplying by decimals?"
