Multi-Digit Multiplication
When teaching multi-digit multiplication, have children stand, facing you as you turn your back and lead them in this exercise:
- Right hand points up to the ceiling-shout “Up!”
- Right hand lowers quickly, then points leftward to the ceiling, crossing the chest diagonally-shout, “Across!”
- Form a circle with both hands-shout, “Drop and give me zero!”
- Left hand points rightward to the ceiling, crossing the chest diagonally-shout, “Across!”
- Left hand points up to the ceiling-shout, “Up!”
Print these templates and place in a plastic sleeve for children to copy multiplication problems onto with a dry-erase marker.
Egg Carton Multiplication
Write the numbers 1-12 in the slots of an egg carton. As children learn each times table, guide them to fill the slots to calculate the answer. For 3×4, instruct children to make three groups of four.
Multiplication Games
Use this fun game to help children practice multiplication/division fact families.
Domino War
Grab some dominoes and turn them all over.
Split them into two even piles.
Line them up in rows facing each other.
Together, call out, “I declare war!” and flip over the domino at the front of each pile.
Each player must say their math sentence fully:
“Five times zero equals zero.”
“Five times five equals twenty-five.”
The player with the higher product takes both dominoes and moves them to the back of their row.
When matching dominoes are flipped over, players can choose double- or triple-war, winner taking all.
The game ends when one player has acquired all the dominoes (or when it’s time for the next subject😎).
