Students answer questions correctly to collect treasure from the bottom of the ocean floor. In Let’s Sail – Multiples, each correct response earns a piece of treasure with different gem values. The more questions they get right, the more treasure they bring aboard!

This version of the game helps students explore and apply their understanding of multiples. They will identify what a multiple is, calculate multiples of given numbers, and determine whether one number is a multiple of another. All questions involve numbers up to 12, reinforcing essential number facts through fun, interactive gameplay.

Students must be careful though - if they answer incorrectly, the treasure falls back into the ocean! The player with the highest total point value at the end of the game wins.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Identify and define what a multiple is
• ✅ Calculate and recognise multiples of numbers up to 12
• ✅ Determine if one number is a multiple of another
• ✅ Strengthen number fluency and recall of multiplication facts
• ✅ Engage in meaningful, competitive maths practise

How to Play:

1. Students are presented with a multiple-related question such as identifying or generating multiples.
2. Correct answers earn them a treasure item, each with its own point value based on size and colour.
3. Incorrect answers cause the treasure to sink back into the sea.
4. Occasionally, a mystery treasure chest appears with surprise treasure inside.
5. The player with the highest total value of treasure at the end of the game wins!
