Turn multiplication fact practice into a fun secret-message mystery! In this no-prep Crack the Code bundle, kids solve multiplication facts (times tables 2 to 9), use the Secret Code Key to match each product to a letter, and decode a silly joke. They are so busy cracking the code they forget they are drilling their times tables.

HOW IT WORKS (super simple, zero prep):

1. Solve each multiplication fact (times tables 2 to 9).

2. Find the product in the Secret Code Key.

3. Write that letter in the big, roomy box.
