Multiplication Art


We have been finding fun ways to practice our multiplication facts. A reminder that students in Grade 4 are required to memorize their facts up to 7x7. We practice in class up to 12 x 12 because it is helpful when they start working with larger numbers to have those facts memorized. Here are some ways we have been practicing our facts in class: 

  • Multiplication Strategy Posters (click here to see our previous blog post)
  • Games: 
    • Multiplication Luck (see Google Classroom for rules)
    • Array Capture (see Google Classroom for rules) 
    • Bury the Bones (in class with dominoes) 
    • Multiplication Bingo (to come next week)
    • Multiplication Rock Songs (search on Youtube and sing along at home!)
  • Practice worksheets

Today, we made Math Art! Students go to choose the times table they most need practice on. They created a design with flaps and wrote the numbers 0-12 on the flaps. Under the flaps, they put the products. Now they have their own device for practicing one of the times tables.
