times tables art

We have heaps of wood laying round from the next-door neighbours trees...we all had a great time dragging it home behind the truck. Its now chopped...and I had the idea of making the stumps into the suggested patterns to play with the times tables. 

What ever you do don't try and use a handsaw to cut a large log in halves while your not well and have two kids saying "what are you doing Mum...how long will you take?"...you may of already know that ;-)

 I only had enough energy to make one...but both found it fun and you could see the difference between the two with the colour choices and the use of numbers.
