Multiplication Gimme Game Freebie

I believe that our kiddos MUST be fluent in multiplication and division facts, BUT I don't think every child will learn those facts through "drill and kill" rote memorization.

Once you've given them manipulatives and let them build arrays to help them truly understand multiplication and division, I think games are a fun way to help them develop the necessary fluency they will need to work higher-level problems.

This freebie is perfect for a fun way to develop fluency. Similar to Go Fish, your kiddos will try to be the first to get all four cards in a multiplication/division fact family.

Halloween Fact Families - Freebie!

Since my kiddos have to be fluent with all addition and subtraction facts through twenty by the end of the year, we have been working with fact families a lot. Hand out the cards and get your kiddos to write the addition and subtraction facts for each family.

Fact Families

Our school is lucky to have a grant that provides fruits and veggies as snacks for our children throughout the week.

We don't think we are so lucky when it's broccoli day and our kids cram the broccoli in their desks and it sits overnight.

Imagine the smell.

Go ahead. Imagine it.

So to kill two birds with one stone, we used shaving cream to practice our addition and subtraction fact families.

I squirted the shaving cream on the kids' desks and called out three numbers in a fact family. They wrote the addition and subtraction facts in the shaving cream.

The bonus was that the smell of the shaving cream  helped get rid of that terrible, terrible rotten broccoli smell. 

I hate broccoli snack day.

Fact Family Dominoes - Freebie

We are beginning our work with addition and subtraction this week by starting off with fact families. I love using dominoes in my math stations, so I made this worksheet to make students accountable for their work. 

They draw a domino and use the two numbers to make all the math facts for the two numbers represented on the domino.

And please leave a comment if you use this sheet. I love reading how you adapt my posts for your own classrooms.
