Want a creative way to consolidate multiplication facts? Our colour by multiplication activity worksheet for the 11 times table invites children to solve each question, then use a colour code to complete a mystery picture. Pupils work through 11 times table facts such as 2 × 11, 7 × 11 and 12 × 11, then match each answer to a specific colour using the key provided (e.g. 132 = pink, 22 or 66 = red). As they apply their answers across the picture, a hidden image gradually appears. This KS2 maths activity builds number confidence while combining recall practice with a visual and satisfying end result.
