My Maths group really enjoyed this challenge. I made it into a competiton and awarded house points to the winners.As Maths Co-ordinator I think the idea of a different starter each day is brilliant!

Transum,
Don't miss the facility at the bottom of this page to change the times table and to change the amount of time allowed.

Also at the bottom of this page is a link to TablesMaster. A popular online activity for students to practice answering times table questions as fast as possible. Students can add their name to the hi-score table or claim a Transum Trophy for their personal best time.

Note to teacher: Doing this activity once with a class helps students develop strategies. It is only when they do this activity a second time that they will have the opportunity to practise those strategies. That is when the learning is consolidated.

Teacher, do your students have access to computers such as tablets, iPads or Laptops? This page was really designed for projection on a whiteboard but if you really want the students to have access to it here is a concise URL for a version of this page without the comments:

Transum.org/go/?Start=March7

However it would be better to assign one of the student interactive activities below.

Laptops In Lessons

Here is the URL which will take them to the most popular Transum tables activity.
