tests often consist of 48 mixed multiplication questions, which you have to attempt
to answer in 3 minutes or less. Your targets for improvement include getting an
“ever increasing” number correct out of 48, in the 3 minutes allowed, or trying
to get all 48 correct in a shorter and shorter time.

The
purpose of the game is to develop and improve mental addition strategies.
Take
turns to choose two different numbers from the table at the top of the page to
make one of the numbers at the bottom of the page. Place one of your coloured
counters on this number. To win the game players must get 4 of their coloured
counters in a line, diagonally, horizontally or vertically.
If
the addition is wrong the counter is removed and you forfeit your turn.
It
is the job of the opposition to block you, so you can’t make 4 in a row.
You
can extend the game by seeing how many sets of 4 in a row you can make.
