TURN THE TABLES: A sequencing card game that features the "rectangle" model of multiplication and division.

All operations are displayed visually enabling students to explore number relationships with reference to the rectangular patterns of "pips" on the cards. Common card playing strategies are used. Children enjoy playing this card game which furthers their understanding of times tables with reference to the rectangle model, as well as reinforcing learning through multisensory activity.

TURN THE TABLES is just one of many games included in the Making Games Work CD, that comes FREE with the book.

Whether you have already discovered the benefits of teaching through games but you're scratching your heads for fresh ideas, or if you want to use games in your teaching but don't know where to start, this book by Bob Hext is for you. We all know that simple ideas work best, and there's nothing complicated in any of these pages: just basic principles that can be applied to many areas of teaching (not just literacy and numeracy, but history, geography, science- you name it), templates to adapt, and some complete photocopiable games to get you started. The complete games included do not duplicate any of our printed material, and cover spelling, syllabification + compound words, homophones, visual memory, times tables, reversal problems and sentence building. Strategies covered in the book include using card games like whist, rummy, and "memory rummy" (invented on the M 25 after a conference one day!), as well as spinner, dice and board games.
