**UPDATED! - ERRORS HAVE BEEN FIXED! PLEASE REDOWNLOAD NEW FILE IF YOU HAVE ALREADY PURCHASED!** :) Are you working on fact families between multiplication and division? If so, this resource is for you! It is a work mat you can give to each child and have them place in a sheet protector to use when working on missing factors, dividends, or divisors. Additionally, I have also created a ready-to-print center for your students to work on in groups. With a partner, students will take turns filling

This activity can be used as seat work, a partner game, or as an early finisher activity. It requires no prep. All you need is a copy of the workmat and a paperclip! There are 5 workmats in this download. Directions: The students will use the paperclip to create a spinner with their pencil. They will spin twice and subtract the two numbers they landed on in the boxes below the spinner. Repeat until the workmat is filled up!

As you introduce multiplication word problems, do you have a few students getting addition and multiplication word problems confused? If so, this activity is for you. As you introduce division word problems, do you have a few students getting multiplication and division word problems confused? If so, this activity is also for you! Students can practice sorting addition and multiplication word problems on one sheet, while the other sheet is multiplication and division word problems. This is a g

This is activity can be used when connecting the Distributive Property of Multiplication with area! It would be great to use as a matching game, a formative assessment, or a closing activity/ticket out the door.

Do your students need practice modeling the Distributive Property of Multiplication? If so, this is a great product to help your students practice decomposing arrays (or area models for higher level learners!) Practicing this property with a visual will help this difficult concept seem much more manageable.

This is a fun game to practice multiplication fact fluency using Product 36. Product 36 is a proven strategy using in China to help students learn their multiplication facts 2's - 9's. Because multiplication is commutative, the facts need to be learned are essentially cut in half. Ex: Because you learn 2 x 9 when learning the 2's facts, you already know 9 x 2 when you get to the 9's facts! That is one less fact to learn! Number of Plays: 3-4/Small Group Directions: Lay out all of the PRODUCT

Division Strategies Bump will be a great supplement as you introduce division to your students. In this game, students will practice matching division facts to division models, such as equal groups/fair share, repeated subtraction, and arrays. The best part about this game is that it is NO prep! Just print and go! All you need for this game are dice and counters.

Students can practice determining when a product will be odd or even by doing this sorting activity. Knowing when a product should be odd or even is a great strategy to use when multiplying. It can help them to self-check and determine if their answer is reasonable. In multiplication, students may not always correctly use the strategies they have learned to do when they don't know a fact, such as equal groups or repeated addition. They may only be 1 or 2 off in their answer, but incorrect all

This activity will be just what you need to supplement your unit and help make multiples of 10 hands-on! Connecting multiples of 10 to money will help students to see how this skill is applied in real life. :) The first page has simple problems to help students create equal groups. On these problems, I list how many groups are needed, as well as how many are in each group. I also have the first problem modeled to help get them started. The second page has more word problems with real-life ap
