BUILD NUMBER SENSE AND PRACTICE MULTIPLICATION FACTS IN YOUR ROOM WITH THESE ARRAY DOT CARDS!
These cards can be used many different ways! My students love to use them as flashcards during math centers to improve their number sense and multiplication facts. Sometimes, my students work in groups of three and race each other to say the total number of dots first while one person shows the cards. Another way to use these is to play the card game "War" with them!
If you would like to make multiple decks of these cards, print them on colored card stock like in the preview photo for easy sorting!
