The teacher can choose an appropriate goal for his or her students, such as a certain number of questions answered correctly within the 60 second time limit. 

Variation Tips

The linked digital tool, Multiplication and Division Relationship, gives students a multiplication equation and asks them to solve a division problem. For example, if 9 x 10 = 90 then 90 ÷ ??? = 9. 

The teacher can challenge students further by introducing them to the digital tool that does the opposite--division to multiplication! For example, if 12 ÷ 3 = 4 then 3 x ??? = 12.
