Step-by-step instructions for other teachers
Stand 3m apart from your child 2 and warm up by throwing a bean bag (or something similar like a small ball or a pair of socks) to each other. Throwing under arm works as well!
Choose a multiplication table for your child to work on. The thrower should ask a multiplication question from that table, e.g., “What is 3 x 5?”
When the ball is caught, the 4 second person should give the answer “15” and ask another multiplication question to the first person.
For every incorrect answer, the child should take a step backwards to lengthen the distance between the thrower and the catcher.
