Play Triangle Flash!: A Math Game

What You Need:

  • Triangle cards
  • scissors
  • Marker Pens

What You Do:

  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.
  2. Play the game: Hold the card up for your partner to see and place your thumb over one of the corners, covering a number. Your partner 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.
  3. Keep a record: While playing, keep a list of facts that your partner misses, or has a harder time remembering.  Go back and practice those facts, covering different numbers as a way to practice both multiplication and division.
