Practise the front-end multiplication strategy for solving complex sums using this engaging small group board game!

This game comes with two differentiated ways to play; a beginners mode and a challenge mode. Each mode asks players to move around the board, collecting pizza and pizza cutter cards. Once they have one of each card type, they can pair them together to create a challenging multiplication sum, which they must solve using the front-end multiplication strategy by splitting the larger number into its place values. Students record their answers on a provided recording sheet and use these answers to determine who wins the game.

Full colour, low colour and black & white printing options are provided. An instruction sheet is also included with this download.

Top Teacher Tips:

• Print on thick A4 cardstock for best results and easy re-use.
• Glue the provided card backs to each set before cutting to strengthen the set and avoid students peeking through the paper.
• If playing on challenge mode, use the colour coded card backs to ensure each individual game set stays together. You could also print black & white sets on coloured card to ensure nothing gets mixed up.
• Too tricky for your support students? Simply throw out the bottom row of cards, which include three-digit numbers and more challenging tables!
