Use this bright, colourful and engaging board game to develop problem solving skills in your students. This Finding the Equation board game is great for reinforcing knowledge of the 4 times table. Students spin the spinner and answer the equation they land on, the first player to cover 10 correct answers is the winner. Laminate all 12 gameboards for a quick and effective maths rotations activity or use the black and white versions that students can decorate themselves.
Suitable as a fast finisher activity or for math rotations.
