 Seeing Doubles - Learning multiplication
facts with 2 as a factor can be fun and easy with
dominos. Use domino doubles to demonstrate that
multiplying by two is the same as adding doubles:
5+5=2x5, 6+6=2x6, and so on. Have your students
make both addition and multiplication fact statements for
the various dominos.
 Dots
YOU
WILL NEED: Dice
THIS IS
HOW IT WORKS
1.)
Roll the die and announce the number you rolled.
2.)
Draw that number of big circles on a piece of
paper. You rolled a 2, so you draw 2 circles
3.)
Roll the die again and announce that number.
4.)
Draw that number of dots in each of your circles. You
rolled a 6, so you draw six dots in each circle
5.)
Write a multiplication equation to match your
drawing. You wrote the multiplication problem
2x6=12 (two groups of 6 = 12)
6.)
Record the total number of dots in your drawing. 12
is your score for this round
7.)
Continue with your partner for four more rounds of play.
8.)
After five rounds total all the dots.
10.)
The player with the most dots wins.
 Counting
Money
Help
your child learn the five tables by relating it to real
life.
1.)
Give your child 1-10 nickels.
2.) Ask
your child to count and write multiplication facts that
go with their money
3.)
Give the a different amount of nickels and repeat.
Break
My Eggs - here is a great game to bring on a
car trip.
1.)
Write numbers in the bottom of the egg cartons.
2.) Put
in two manipulatives (lima beans, puff balls, ext..)
3.)
Have your shake up the carton and multiply the two
numbers together
4.)Now
the parent does the same. Whoever had the greatest answer
wins. Play many rounds.
Multiplication
War
1.)
Before you start write on a piece of paper that Ace = 1,
J = 0, Q = 11,
and K =
12.
2.)
Shuffle a deck of cards.
3.)
Then deal the cards out evenly and stack them face down
in front of
the two
players.
4.) Both players turn over
their top at the same time. They multiply the 2 cards and
shout the answer. The winner puts the cards in his/her
winning pile. If a tie should occur, keep turning cards
until someone wins the pile.
5.)
When all of their original stack has been played, they
count their winnings. The winner is the person with the
most cards.
