The double-entry table
The double-entry table is a sorting game for the interactive whiteboard or a tablet. Every piece has its own square, right where its row and its column meet. The headings are pictures (colour patches, shapes, animals, dots and sizes), so no reading is needed. Children place pieces, choose the one for a square, fill in the whole table or spot mistakes.
What children practise
- Read a two-way table: find where a row and a column meet.
- Sort by two criteria at once, such as colour and shape or animal and size.
- Match amounts shown as dots.
- Compare objects by size.
- Fill in a whole table in an organised way.
- Spot items sorted into the wrong place and explain the mistake.

How to play it in class
- Open the game and choose the year group and difficulty. Under More options you can fix the level, the voice and the points to win: 3, 5 or 8.
- In teams, each works on its own half with the same tables; it can also be played solo.
- Tap the piece's square or drag the piece there. The yellow corner repeats the instruction.
- After a mistake, the right row and column light up. Each challenge completed is a point and the first team to the target wins.
Ways to play
In teams, at the same time
The screen splits in two and each team plays on its own half at the same time.
For one player
One child plays on the whole screen at their own pace: on the whiteboard, a computer or a tablet.
Frequently asked questions
Do children need to read?
No. The headings are pictures and, with the voice on, the game reads the instruction and says where the piece goes after a mistake.
What table sizes are there?
From 2x2 at level 1 up to 4x4 at level 5, with 2x3, 3x3 and 3x4 in between.
What happens if a piece goes in the wrong square?
The right row and column light up and the game says where it goes, so the mistake is fixed straight away.
