At the beginning of the school year, I tested my students for fluency in their multiplication and division facts. Let's just say with where we started I can easily document student growth.
Here is one of the games my students have been playing to increase fluency. The free Google doc has a filled in multiplication chart, the rules, and number cards.
Multiplication Bingo for 2-3 players
Materials: Filled in Multiplication Chart, Number Cards,
Dry Erase Markers
Directions:
1. The
first player draws a number card.
2. The
first player picks a multiple of that number on the multiplication chart and
marks it. This number can be any number
on the board that is a multiple. It does
not have to be in that column or row.
For example, if the player draws a 12, he or she can choose 24 anywhere
it appears on the chart.
3. The
first player says aloud the equation that matches that number on the
board. For example, if the player placed
the marker in the fourth column and sixth row, even though he or she drew a 12,
the correct response would be 4 X 6 = 24.
4. The
second player begins the next turn. Play
continues until one player has filled an entire row or column. A player could also win by filling in the
spaces diagonally corner to corner.
I printed the multiplication chart on one side and the 100 chart on the other. I put the page in a plastic sleeve and have dry erase markers and wipes in a tub. I have been collecting number sense games at various levels with these simple materials. I have a single routine for set up and clean up and a math station that lasts my entire year.
