Curriculum & Math Activities
Multiplication Grid
Multiplication Hopscotch & Skip Counting
Students can work on their multiplication facts by skip counting while hopping on the cells a row or column in the multiplication table grid. For example a student could work on 6's, but hopping on the cells in the 6 column or row, and saying the numbers aloud... 6,12,18,24,30,... The student could then do it in reverse going backwards. Students can do one column or row or multiple columns and row based on what targeted math fact practice the need. You could also put students in teams, and do this as a relay race. A student would start skip counting the numbers in one column/row, and then tag a teammate who will proceed to the next column.
Multiplication Target Practice
Using the multiplication grid on the blacktop, provide students with bean bags or small balls. Each student takes turns throwing their bean bag onto a cell within the grid. They must then multiply the numbers in that cell and shout out the correct answer. Alternatively, you could give a student an equation, and see if they can toss the bean bag to land on the correct product.
Relay Race
Divide students into teams and create two sets of flashcards with multiplication problems. Place one set of flashcards on one end of the blacktop and the other set on the opposite end. Each team lines up behind their respective sets of flashcards. When the game starts, the first player from each team picks a flashcard, runs to the multiplication grid, finds the corresponding cell, and shouts out the answer. They then run back and tag the next player, who repeats the process. The team that finishes first wins.
Multiplication Battleship: Create two two equal multiplication grids on your blacktop, or divide one into two sections, one for each team. Each team places their "ships" (represented by members of their team) in the cells of their grid, following the rules of the multiplication table. Players take turns calling out multiplication coordinate (4x5) and must multiply the numbers in that cell. If they answer correctly, they mark it as a hit on their opponent's grid. The first player to sink all of their opponent's ships wins.
Simon Says Multiplication
Play a variation of "Simon Says" using multiplication problems. Designate one student as "Simon." Simon gives multiplication commands, such as "Simon says, multiply 3 times 4." The other students must quickly find the cell with the correct answer on the multiplication grid and touch it. If Simon didn't say "Simon says" before the command, students should not touch any cell. Students who touch the wrong cell or do so without hearing "Simon says" are out. The last remaining student becomes the next Simon.
