The 7s and 8s are hardest. Chant them as a class before the sheet.
How to use it
- Use the same sheet twice in one week and compare the scores.
- Keep a multiplication chart available at first and take it away as kids get faster.
- Do the first problem together under a document camera, then let kids finish on their own.
Watch for
Kids who add instead of multiply when they are tired. Ask them to read the sign out loud.
Talk about it
- Why does turning the factors around give the same product?
- Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?
