A times tables wheel for quick-fire maths practice
Spin the wheel to choose which times table the class practises next, from the two times table to the twelve. It turns a drill into a game, and weighting the tables the class finds hardest brings them up more often.

What is on this wheel
Your wheel opens as “Times tables” with these 11 wedges. A higher weight means a bigger wedge and a proportionally higher chance; rename, add or remove any of them.

Tips
- Raise the weight of the tables your class finds hardest, often the sevens and eights, so they come up more often.
- Remove the tables the class has mastered and add them back for a mixed revision round at the end of term.
- Spin twice and multiply the two results for a harder round.
- Keep each round short: ten quick questions, then spin again.
Questions
Can I focus on the tables my class is learning now?
Yes. Remove the tables you are not covering yet, or give the current ones a higher weight from 1 to 20.
Can students use it on their own devices?
The wheel is run by the teacher on one screen with a free RepBud account. Students follow on the board without an account.
Does it make a sound when it stops?
Yes. The wheel ticks as it turns and plays a fanfare on the result. You can turn sound off.
