SEN information
Suitable for children with Moderate and Specific Learning Difficulties. Allows children to see the pattern of the 3 times table emerging. Children who are unsure can count on from the last correct answer as the numbers are clear. Great for reinforcement and consolidation of learning. This activity is also suitable for pupils with Dyscalculia as it is visual and they can see the pattern emerge. They also get instant feedback from the game to tell them whether the answer suggested is right or wrong and do not have to wait until the end of the game to find out. Text is read for children, which should ensure the activity can be undertaken by children who are not confident readers or who have difficulties with reading, thereby giving all children the opportunity to succeed at the activity and also gain a sense of independence.
