Multiplication Machine

This clever educational activity lets children build their own multiplication machine, making maths more interactive and enjoyable.

Simply flick the dials to generate two numbers, work out their product mentally, then align the links and pointers to check the answer. It’s a satisfying way to practise multiplication, build confidence with times tables and develop mental maths skills.

With easy-to-follow instructions and explanations of the STEM ideas behind the machine, children can explore how it works and enjoy solving calculations independently. Suitable for children aged 6 and upwards, it’s a useful addition to home learning or a thoughtful gift for curious mathematicians.
