Multiplication and Division Scoot Activity is an engaging, movement-based maths game that helps students recall and apply multiplication and related division facts up to 10 × 10. By incorporating strategies such as doubling, halving, using arrays, and working with fact families, this resource develops fluency while making revision sessions active and enjoyable. Students also strengthen their mental computation skills by recognising patterns and applying known facts to solve unfamiliar problems.

This interactive activity transforms your classroom or outdoor space into a fast-paced maths challenge. Students move between question cards, solving problems, recording their answers, and checking their work against the provided answer sheet. The format encourages focus, collaboration, and repeated practice in a variety of multiplication and division contexts, making it a highly effective and versatile teaching tool.

Perfect for whole-class practice, small group rotations, or as a warm-up to a maths lesson, Multiplication and Division Scoot Activity can be tailored to suit the pace and ability level of your students. Whether used for reinforcement, assessment, or just for fun, it promotes active engagement while reinforcing core multiplication and division skills.

What’s Included

• 30 multiplication and division question cards
• Recording sheet for student responses
• Answer sheet for self-checking or peer marking

Materials Needed

• Printer and cardstock or paper for question cards
• Laminator and pouches to increase durability of cards
• Scissors or guillotine for preparing the cards
• Pencils or pens for completing recording sheets
• Optional: mini whiteboards and markers for working out answers
• Optional: timer to add a challenge element

How to Use

1. Print and cut out the question cards, then spread them around the classroom or outdoor space.
2. Provide each student with a recording sheet.
3. Students move around the space, solving each card’s question and writing their answer in the corresponding numbered box.
4. Use the provided answer sheet for self-checking, peer marking, or whole-class discussion.

Ideas for Classroom Use

• 💡 Laminate the question cards for durability and long-term use.
• 💡 Give students whiteboards for working out answers as they move between cards.
• 💡 Allow students to work in pairs for support or to model mathematical thinking aloud.
• 💡 Use a timer to create a fast-paced challenge and add excitement to revision sessions.

Top Teacher Tips

• 💛 Play a team relay version using enlarged A3 recording sheets.
• 💛 Ask students to write their own challenge questions to add to the set.
• 💛 Sort questions by skill type (e.g. doubling, halving, arrays, fact families).
• 💛 Use selected cards as warm-ups or exit tickets across the week.

Multiplication and Division Scoot Activity is an excellent way to make practising maths facts active, social, and highly engaging. By combining movement with targeted skill practice, it keeps students motivated while strengthening their mastery of multiplication and division facts.
