Maths for kids: Guesstimator
Maths problems are certainly not solved at a guess, but this multiplication game gives everyone the best chance at winning. Problem solving comes later, but each child or team gets to have a stab first!
What you need:
- mum, dad or an older sibling
- pens
- paper
Number of players:
2+
Activity:
Divide the kids into teams or individuals if there are only two.
Each team must have a pen and paper handy to write down their guess.
The teacher figure writes a two-digit multiplication problem on a board or on a piece of paper.
Each team has a guess at what the answer might be.
Solve the problem all together with the teacher. Closest to the real answer wins that point.
Notes:
This game can be played with other equations such as addition for younger levels or division for older kids.
