Multiplication 1 to 10 Word Problems - Athletics Competition Activity
Learners solve multiplication word problems based on athletics events, applying maths to real-world sports scenarios. Each activity uses images and interactive questions to reinforce multiplication facts from 1 to 10.
Highlights
- Real-world sports scenarios for multiplication practice

- Visual supports to aid understanding and engagement
This resource offers a series of interactive multiplication word problems set at a local athletics carnival. Each page presents a different athletics event—such as relay races, high jump, discus, hurdles, and more—where learners are asked to solve practical multiplication problems using real-life sports scenarios.
Learners engage with each scenario by:
- Viewing images related to the athletics event
- Reading a short word problem
- Writing and solving a multiplication equation (e.g., 4 × 9)
These activities help students practise multiplication facts from 1 to 10, develop problem-solving skills, and see how maths is used in everyday situations. The athletics context encourages engagement and makes the maths relevant and relatable.
This resource is well-suited for classroom use, small group work, or home learning, supporting both independent practice and guided instruction. Educators can use it for formative assessment, revision, or as a practical application of multiplication concepts.
