Make Multiplication Facts Fun!

Image
I am old enough to remember chanting times tables in class. Yes that's how it was done many years ago and Yes it was BORING! But it actually did help to cement these facts into my brain. Learning multiplication facts doesn't come easily for some kids! But luckily today you don't need to have kids chant and chant in rote form. There are lots of different ways to review facts and help kids to develop mastery of multiplication facts. Of course my favorite ways to do this is with games. I developed my Tic Tac Toe games to help do this and I have another set of Multiplication games also. Here are some FREEBIES that help to make multiplication fun!   Catch the Monkeys Multiplication Game In this game, the players move around the board trying to catch the monkeys!

I love simple print and play games.   Yes they are easy for the teacher to prepare but with the right games they will also be fun and effective at teaching or reviewing math skills. That's why I have created a new collection of Addition and Subtraction Games. You just print these out and hand them out.   All the kids will need is a few pencils and maybe a few dice. Her are a few of the Freebie games.            Download now at http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Addition-1136413 In this game, the players hunt for 2 or 3 numbers that add to 15. The last player to color a pair or trio is the winner. I like this game because as there are fewer and fewer numbers left the children have to really think about the possible combinations that are left.

Here are some of the Freebies I have created to get kids looking at place value from different angles.   This set has 4 different worksheets - 2 for 2 digit numbers and 2 for 3 digit numbers.
