Rimu Homework Challenge #3
A1. Improve your maths ability: Complete a random 12 x 12 grid in under 3 min
12x12 grid
In room 42 this year we have a homework challenge that is to complete a 12x12 grid in under 3 minutes. The 12x12 grid is when your rule up a grid that is 12 squares by 12 squares and you have to write the numbers 1 to 12 along top and left side of the grid. The 12x12 grid is pretty much a test on your times tables because you write in all of your times tables. Its called a 12x12 grid because there are 12 Columns in the grid and you have to write down all the answers for each times table, e.g you go along the top row first answering all the questions like 1x1 then 2x1 and you go along also answering questions like, 9x8, 10x9 and so on until you reach 12x12. When you finished you have to rase your hand and yell stop. We had 4 minutes to complete it but as you can see I completed it in 2 minutes and 50 seconds. We did this grid every day of the week before we started our proper maths tasks. I took me at least 5 weeks to finally complete it.
I thought of this activity as a brilliant way to start maths and a exilent way to get really fast at your times tables. When I was doing this grid I found a few different techniques on how to do it fast and correctly. I found that if you do your 1's timetables first and then 2's and 3's and so on, and if you do your hardest time's tables first and then go on to you easy one's
