A fun game to help your children to develop multiplication skills.

This printable activity is great for use at home. If you don't have a printer then simply write 0-9 on a  piece of paper or post it notes so that you have 10 cards. You can view the information on how to use them on the following document. 

Use these cards, to help to develop number sense with your children. Make it active by making the cards larger, placing them at one end of the garden and then setting challenges such as 'get me a 2 digit number' or 'make an odd, 3 digit number' etc.  Children enjoy racing to find the numbers.
