3 Multiplication Activities Your Kids Will Love
No one can argue that basic math skills such as multiplication are not important for a child to learn. These skills act as a foundation to build more complicated math skills upon. If your kids don’t have a good grasp of multiplication it will make it harder for them to dive into more difficult math concepts as they get older. Unfortunately many kids find learning these basic facts boring or frustrating. Luckily I have listed here three fun math activities focusing on multiplication, which will help in gaining the attention of even your more distracted students.
1. Multiplication Maze Bundle – $4 USD
This fun packed bundle includes ten multiplication mazes with answers. Each maze also has a blank template to allow students to create their own math mazes. These are great to use as early finisher activities, bell ringers, or math warm-ups.
Each maze has intersections which have multiplication problems – but only the intersection which give certain answers can be traveled through.
2. Hidden Mystery Math Messages: Multiplication – $2.75 USD
Students will love these worksheets as it allows them to use their multiplication and basic fact knowledge to find a hidden mystery quote. Great for a maths warm-up, early finishers, or even a maths station.
Mainly multiplication questions, but some addition and subtraction is required to find the hidden message.
3. I Have Who Has Basic Facts: Multiplication (with some addition and subtraction) $2 USD.
This is a fun whole class game which allows your students to practice their basic facts. Most of the questions are multiplication, however, there are some basic addition and subtraction questions also.
I use this game as a math warm-up. Students love a bit of competition also – so I record the class time – and then challenge them to improve upon the class time when we next play the game.
