How to use this multiplication array activity

The aim of this activity is to match each of the star array cards to the correct number card.

Shuffle all the cards around so they are all jumbled up and then pick a card at random and try to find its partner.

For example, the picture card below shows 16 stars arranged in 2 rows of 8.
