Bring energy and strategy to multiplication with this 11 times table spin and solve activity worksheet. Children use a pencil and paperclip to spin a random multiplication calculation (e.g. 5 × 11), solve it mentally or with jottings, then match the product to a corresponding hexagon on the page. For each hexagon, pupils must record the matching calculation three times before colouring it in. If used as a two-player game, the first child to complete two out of the three spaces claims the hexagon. The player with the most completed hexagons wins. This KS2 activity combines reasoning, recall and fun through interactive gameplay.
Key Curriculum Focus
This KS2 times tables/multiplication worksheet aligns with the national curriculum by supporting:
- Recalling and using multiplication facts for the 11 times table
- Applying known facts to solve problems and match them to solutions
- Using strategic thinking and repeated practice to reinforce knowledge
The 11 times table spin and solve activity worksheet encourages repetition and recall of 11 times table facts in a purposeful format. Pupils must engage in both solving and spotting, helping them link multiplication facts to their products and strengthening their number sense through multiple representations.
11 Times Table in KS2 Maths
By the time they reach KS2, children use their understanding of multiplication facts in increasingly flexible ways. For example, knowing that 11 × 9 = 99 allows pupils to reason about related problems such as 99 ÷ 11. This worksheet reinforces core facts by helping children develop recognition of products and link them to equations, using both mental and visual strategies to strengthen long-term recall.
Activity Idea: Spinner Showdown
Pair up learners and give them individual spinners. Each child spins and solves their own 11 times table question. Whoever has the higher correct product wins a point. Play continues for five rounds. This promotes mental agility and introduces a quick-fire recall game to enhance fluency.
