Appendix 1: Whats The Product?

Materials: Multiplication flash cards (1 set)

1. The teacher will divide the class into 5 groups of 5 or 6 pupils. 3. Then, teacher will show a multiplication flash card to the pupils. For example, 4x5 =

4. Pupils will be given times to discuss among themselves the product for the multiplication flash card. 5. After that, teacher will choose a pupil from each group to write the product for the multiplication sentence on the blackboard. 6. The groups who get the correct answers gain one point. 7. Step 2 to 6 will be repeated for 4 more flash cards. 8. The group who obtains most points wins the game.
