Colours Sky blue & orange, trendy & inviting. Guide age 6+ though ability is individual. Our set is for home use but this would withstand classroom & group community use. Design is gender & age neutral, ideal for mature students or SEN pupils. 'Fact Family' knowledge & understanding, is part of the national curriculum. "...the group of 4 math facts produced by the relationships between the 3 numbers in a fact triangle....". For example: 3 + 4 = 7 7 - 3 = 4 4 + 3 = 7 7 - 4 = 3 BOX: quality thick laminated card, long term safe storage. Depth approx 6 cm, Sides 35 cm. Clear plastic insert with centre gap to keep the cards. CENTRE BOARD: strong plastic with laminated decal upper surface & non slip foam patch underneath. Sides approx 25 cm. TRAYS X 4: orange strong plastic triangular prism shape, sloping with lower edge to retain cards. Height approx just over 3 cm, Width at base just over 3.5 cm, Length just over 3.5 cm. tri-FACTa CARDS X 100: laminated, white with orange numbers upper side, logo & colours on reverse. Sides approx 5 cm. We keep ours safe inside a small zip-lock bag. INFORMATION SHEET: Learning resources: English, Spanish, French & Dutch instructions & ideas. Taken from the information sheet..." Object of the game: Be the first player to play all your cards and call out "tri-FACTa!". " SET UP: 1.....Arrange the cards face down around the board. 2. Each player takes a tray, chooses 6 cards and places the cards in the tray. Hint:...numerical order... might make game play easier. 3. Make sure all players understand the relationships between the numbers in a fact triangle in which the two bottom numbers add up to the number at the top ". Basic understanding of number relations, with reverse addition & subtraction is important to enjoy & understand game play. Without a foundation knowledge, this game could prove counter productive. Through playing, number experiences will be reinforced, then increased, so improving confidence & thinking ability. We found this a positive addition to our resource cupboard. Confidence has grown with quicker thinking skills & better understanding of the Fact Families. From the information sheet... " To Start: The player who can make a true fact triangle with three cards goes first. If more than one player....player with the largest sum begins the game.... place new cards on top of existing cards on the board... turn the board to face the next player! ". " To play: 1. To take a turn, you must play 2 or 3 ...cards to create a true fact triangle...addition and subtraction the numbers in the triangle show both relationships! 2.... cannot take a turn, choose 1 card from the pile and add it to your tray... can take a turn now, go ahead! If not, keep the card...play continues. 3....incorrect fact triangle, take your cards back...next player's turn. 4. WILD CARDS: ... play it as any number up to 20. Say the value of the card...when you play it...value of that card doesn't change. 5. To win...first player to play all your cards and call out " tri-FACTa! " NOTE: ...all cards are gone from the centre pile and a winner has not been declared, the player who has the fewest cards in... tray wins ". We started with only lower, single number values, gradually increasing difficulty; this game is easily adapted to the individual. Initially we used counters to match up with the cards. This gave visual reinforcement, increasing physical understanding of written number connections. Written numbers alone can seem surreal, physically handling objects made them real. We also made our own cards, increasing possibilities as skills improved. Superb game for the entire family... which becomes greatly competitive when against the clock to 'beat your best!'.

My students enjoy this game and it allows them to practice their math facts.

Juego en el que se repasan las sumas, las restas y la relación entre ellas. Lo he comprado para el aula y los peques se han entretenido. Recomendaría a partir de segundo.

Macht Spaß und ist gut zum üben der 10er Übergänge.

This is a wonderful game for practicing facts. It allows students to create the fact and solve, challenging them in a new way instead of just rote fact practice. All my student groups love to play this game! A great gift for kids, too.
