Purpose:
You can help your child to identify multiples of numbers.
What you need:
- Multiple cards and game boards.(PDF, 27 KB) You can print these or make your own.
- 8 buttons/counters for each player.
What to do:
Cut out the multiple cards and place in a pile face down. Give a game board to each player.
The first player turns over a multiples card. If the number is a multiple of a number on their card they can cover that number. They can only cover one number in a turn. Return the multiples card to the bottom of the pile. If they are unable to cover a number on their board then other player has a turn.
The winner is the first person to cover all the numbers on their game board.
What to expect your child to do:
To identify multiples of numbers using strategies such as multiplication and division facts, and divisibility rules. For example; any number ending in a 5 or a 0 is a multiple of 5, any even number is a multiple of 2, any number whose digits add to a multiple of 3 is also a multiple of 3 e.g. 54: 5 + 4 = 9, 9 is a multiple of 3 and therefore so is 54.
Variation:
- Make your own multiples cards.
- The first person who calls a factor of a multiples cards can cover that factor on their board. For example, if the multiple 35 is turned over then the first person to call either 5 or 7 can cover either of these numbers on their game board.

- Whakahokia tō kāri ki raro o te putunga kāri. (Return your card to the bottom of the pile.)
- Kei ahau ināianei. (Its my turn now.)
- Māu e tīmata. (You can start.)
- He taurea te tekau mā whā o te whitu. (14 is a multiple of 7.)
- Ko te tangata tuatahi ki te uhi i ngā tau katoa i tōna papa, ko ia te toa. (The first person to cover all of the numbers on their board is the winner.)
