This is a great game to help your child learn number concepts in multiplication and division.
 
What You Need:
Index Cards
Scissors
Marker
 
What To Do:
 
Step 1
Create the Triangle Flash cards: Cut an index card into a triangle. In each of the corners of the flash card write numbers belonging to a multiplication/division fact. For example if you write 63 at the top of the triangle, you would write 7 in one corner and 9 in another. Continue creating all the multiplication/division facts through nines.
 

Step 2
Play the game: Hold the card up for your child to see and place your thumb over one of the corners, covering a number. Your child should identify the number that is covered by recognizing the other uncovered numbers as part of the multiplication/division fact. Continue playing the game with the cards, varying which section you cover each time.
 
Step 3
Keep a record: While playing, keep a list of facts that yout child misses, or has a harder time remembering. On a different day, go back and practice those facts, covering different numbers as a way to practice both multiplication and division.
