How to Play:

  • Take turns to catch a fish and look at the calculation on the bottom.
  • With whichever times table you are working on, answer the question.
  • If playing on your own, score points for every correct answer and you could add in a time limit to see how many fish you can catch in the time.
  • If playing with two players, each player could catch a fish, answer the question and the person with the highest answer wins a point. Alternatively they can race to see who catches the most fish and achieves the most correct answers.
