Lovin' Math by Tera

A guide for the various multiplication strategies used in fourth grade to build computational fluency in multiplication without the use of the algorithm. This could be used as a parent guide or as a notes page for student notebooks.

This cover-up game allows for 2 digit by 2-digit and 2 digit by 3 digit multiplication practice. Students love the freedom of the activity, and they never realize how much math they are actually doing. This is a great activity for centers, differentiated practice, and peer groups and tutoring.

2 per page-- Measurement Conversion with multiplication only (larger units to smaller units).

A spin on the multiplication cover-up to help with division. Students use dice to determine the problem that is to be worked. Students will practice lots of division problems to help with fluency.

Performance Task requiring students to multiply and add to solve. Suited for 4th grade, but could be adapted to other grades.

This activity is a great way to quickly differentiate in class. One side offers 1 digit multiplication, and the other side offers 2-digit multiplication. Students can work in peer groups to allow for peer tutoring. Students enjoy this activity and often do not realize the amount of multiplication they are performing.
