Instructions (select arrow)

Players take turns to roll the dice or spin the spinner. They then multiply the number selected (e.g. 6) by the number rolled and work out the product. They must explain their thinking to their partner.
Their partner records their thinking. If they agree, the first player places one of their counters on the number on the game board, claiming that place.
If the number is taken, players miss a turn.
A player wins by getting three counters in a row (in any direction).
Since players only have 3 counters, they will need to choose which counter to move once all 3 have been placed on the game board.

Other ways to play:

Play with 4 counters to win.
Play with a multiplication grid to check your partners answer, giving players an opportunity to have a second attempt if they initially answer incorrectly.
