This ESL math problems activity to be carried out in a group setting with learners playing against each other. One at a time, each learner selects a problem, reads it out loud, and gives the result while writing it down in the chat or on paper.

For example: 17 x 5= 85 (“seventeen times five equals eighty-five”)

If the result proposed by the learner is correct and the numbers are pronounced correctly (be forgiving for small pronunciation errors and encourage self-correction), they earn the number of points indicated next to the equation (which ranges from 1 to 3 depending on its difficulty), and you mark the completed operation. When all the boxes have been marked, the learner with the most points wins the game.

I have been teaching English abroad since receiving my CELTA certificate in Poland in 2018. I enjoy tracking my individual students’ development but love having lessons with big groups! Now that I teach online, I am accompanied by my sidekicks Olaf, Mała, Pirate and Bandit on a regular basis.

It takes a team of 13 to create and produce this material. In order for that to continue, please think about purchasing your own subscription to ESL Expertz and encourage your colleagues to do the same. We appreciate your confidence and support!
