Need students building automaticity with finding multiples? Here's a FREEBIE just for you! I always try to get students using estimation for their long division, but for students that just aren't there, there's always the multiples list. The fact is, students should be working toward automaticity in all of their mathematical skills. Print off a stack of these and choose a few random numbers a day for students to work through.

I've used this multiple ways:

• Notebook resource - simply fold and glue into notebooks. Have students add helpful multiples lists as a reference to save time in the future. I like to use these in conjunction with estimation. "You've got the multiples for this nearby number, so what would be a good estimate?"
• Bell work - I give three numbers, easy (These should not require too much thinking, _0s, _5s, _2s), medium (something with a pattern to be picked up, like _9s, _8s, _1s), and then a harder number that they won't really be able to find a quick trick for.
• intervention - I pull kids over to work on the multiples they should have easily but don't, like single digits, 25s, multiples of 10 and 5, etc.
• extended practice - for those who need a little more to do with their quick minds, give them numbers and challenge them to find a trick!
