Colour the times table to uncover the hidden picture. Two images each for tables: 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, 7s, 8s, 9s 16 pages, each a grid of numbers (A4) which reveals a picture when multiples of the chosen times table are coloured in. Useful worksheets for practice ahead of the multiplication check in Year 4. Can be used as an independent extension or starter activity. Might be kept in a tray and used as a gap filler. An activity which can help to calm and regulate some children. A potential homework which is easy to understand, only requires a pen or pencil, and lends itself to be self-checked. Cut up one sheet up and give pieces of it to a group, for a teamwork activity with a shared goal. Accessible for multiple ability levels (although time taken may vary). I’ve found these useful to have in my back pocket as a teacher. One page number grid for printing, one page idea of completed hidden picture. If enjoyed - more available on my TES page.
