This activity helps pupils test their multiplication of integers up to 99 or decimals up to 99.9.
Resource Support Notes:
This activity helps pupils test their multiplication of integers up to 99 or decimals up to 99.9.
The opening screen allows the user to choose between integers or decimals. Once a choice has been made the next screen prompts the pupil (or teacher) to select the lowest and highest multipliers and the lowest and highest multiplicands.
Starting the activity also sets a timer running so that pupils can check the number of correct answers made in a given time. This can be a useful support for mental maths activities as part of the National Numeracy Strategy.
Examples:
A choice to produce questions based on a single digit number multiplied by a 2 digit number up to 20 would be:
Multiplier - lowest = 0 and highest = 9
Multiplicand - lowest = 10 and highest = 20
To create a set of questions based on multiplication up to the 5 times table the entries would be:
Multiplier - lowest = 1 and highest = 5
Multiplicand - lowest = 1 and highest = 5
Pupil Notes
Test your mental multiplication skills with the random question generator. You can choose your start and finish numbers (the multiplier and multiplicand) to match your own level. You can even play against the clock!
