Your child makes equal groups of marks in flattened playdough to represent a multiplication, then counts the total and talks about how many groups there are and how many are in each group. This builds meaning before relying on memorised times-table facts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimple to set up and easy to adapt, you'll receive a parent-friendly guide with clear instructions, practical learning tips and ideas to extend the play as your child's confidence grows.
