Mastering multiplication facts is such an important skill for 3rd grade students. As a former 4th grade teacher, I fully understand how crippling it can be for students who struggle with basic multiplication facts while trying to learn more challenging math concepts. If they can master the basics, all other math concepts are so much easier to learn.

I am beyond excited to share with you a Multiplication Bundle that will introduce, teach, reinforce and help master basic multiplication facts! All of the pages in this bundle make learning multiplication a breeze! No more boring drills or mundane practice! There are 11 different packets in this bundle that will help make mastering multiplication facts exciting and rewarding!

I started by printing each packet in the bundle.
I separated the multiplication packets into 12 individual bundles (one for each fact).

This is after each set is assembled from the bundle, but does not include all of the review packets...

Once the packets are printed, you can place them in order that you want to teach/reinforce each fact.

Inside each of the booklets above, I have included the following pages to show progression in difficulty:

#1 Multiplication Watches

#2 Number Bonds (freebie)

#7 Roll, Add and Multiply (free)

#10 Multiplication Search

Incorporated into each packet are review sheets. I made separate packets for each set.

The review sets include Mastering Multiplication Facts for:

*Review for 10, 11 and 12

Here is an example of the pages included in one of the booklets that I assembled from the bundle.

The pages will help master multiplication facts for 5.

First, the book is assembled and spiral bound. You can also staple the packet together.

I started with the WEARABLE watches! This is is such a FUN and effective way to practice multiples. On this page is a Skip Counting activity, a Roll and Multiply game and a wearable watch!

Begin by filling in the skip counting chart.

Cut out and WEAR your multiplication watch!
Practice saying and memorizing the multiples on the watch.

Play the Roll and Multiply game.

You can use any dice, but we really love the double dice in the background.

Each player gets a different colored die and colored pencil.

Number Bonds (exclusive FREEBIE only available in the BUNDLE)

This is a great way for students to see parts of a whole in a multiplication problem...

Spin the spinner and multiply the number with the number on the upper right hand corner.

Two people can play to see who colors the most items.

When learning becomes a GAME...it's FUN!!

Use a paper clip and pencil to make a spinner.

Each page gives students the opportunity to practice 30 multiplication facts in a super FUN way!

Solve the equations, cut and paste to the correct column!

It's hands-on and it's fun!

#6 Multiplication Spin and Graph

(Exclusive FREEBIE only available in the BUNDLE)

The Spin and Graph packet is unique because students start by spinning the product

(an answer to a multiplication problem).

Students must determine which multiplication sentence makes the product.

They write and graph the top 3 spins. This simple skill really helps students master multiplication from both sides of the problem.

#7 Roll, Add and Multiply

(Exclusive FREEBIE only available in the BUNDLE)

Grab two dice and two colored markers. I LOVE using jumbo dice, but they are not necessary.

Add the two numbers on the dice and multiply by the number in the upper right hand corner.

Each page has 64 answers! WOW! That is a LOT of practice!

Keeping it FUN, really helps kids want to "play" more!

Grab a die, roll it and solve a problem in that column.
Race to the top to see which cute characters get colored first!
After coloring 3 pictures, the game is over!

Kids LOVE to color and this is a FUN way to work on some multiplication practice!

I call this "meaningful coloring" 🙂

These are definitely a FAVORITE!!

"Can I do another one?" This is the question that I get from my 3rd Grader!

Yes, of course you can!

Solve the problems on the list and find them in the multiplication search!

Now it's time to show your multiplication fluency!

Set goals and beat the clock!

Something that I had my 4th graders do when they missed a problem was to write it 3 times each on the back. At first, they missed a LOT of problems, but as time progressed, they were excited to see the improvement! I wish I would have created a packet like this when I was teaching in the classroom!

Fun, effective and engaging ways to master multiplication facts!

The BUNDLE includes 11 packets (3 Exclusive FREEBIES!)
Do you want to try it before you buy it?
Grab the multiplication NO PREP Sampler packet (HERE)

I hope this multiplication bundle makes learning FUN for students as they master multiplication facts with confidence! Fact fluency is a skill they will NEED as they move on to the next grade level!

Be sure to also grab these FREE multiplication posters HERE!

This freebie is for the full and mini size posters!

Time to add some challenging fun to your classroom routine with Brain Teasers for teens! First, give these head-scratchers a try:

When you're ready, scroll down for the answers.
Now, did you really give yourself time to think through the answers?

Challenging, no? There are many different ways you might want to use these slides in your classroom, including:

1. Use as a routine bell-ringer activity to begin class one day each week. I use these as Brain Teaser Tuesdays (I enjoy alliteration), but they'll work great any day of the week.

2. Use them to soak up those occasional last few minutes of a class period when a daily lesson wraps up more quickly than you planned.

3. Use them as part of an ongoing team activity/contest that runs a full nine-week quarter. Each nine weeks, one of my colleagues sorts her classes into teams of three students. Then, students occasionally compete against the other teams throughout the quarter in review games, grammar skill-builders, and these sorts of brain games. She keeps a running tally of the teams' names and earned points, updating her website each week with the class standings. As the quarter rolls along, her room starts to feel a little like Hogwarts ("Ten points for Gryffindor!") and the teens really love it. To keep every team engaged, she uses makeshift whiteboards with page protectors, a piece of white paper, and a dry erase marker, which gives all of the teams time to formulate their answers before the answer is revealed. This helps encourage buy-in for all players since the game is not a race - the first team to answer doesn't earn more points than any other correctly answering team. At the end of the quarter, the winning team wins a prize or bonus points in the gradebook.

4. Use the slides as a reward for classes that hit certain benchmarks or goals.

There are 38 questions (and answers) in each volume, allowing you to use two questions per weekly session or one question two times a week in a semester. (Note: Questions #1 and #2 above are from my Vol. 1 bundle, while #3 and #4 are from Vol. 2.) Most semesters run 18 weeks but I threw in a couple of extra questions just in case there's one or two you don't like/want to skip.

In my class, I use just one question to begin class every Tuesday, but I switch up the question for my later classes because my teens love to blab the answer at lunchtime to their friends in my afternoon classes. (Don't they have anything better to talk about than my class? Sheesh.) You also could work from the beginning of the bundle with one class and work from the end of the bundle with a different class, just to keep students on their toes.

However you choose to use these slides, I hope they find a place in your teacher's toolbox of activities as you work to help your teens develop word sense, lateral thinking, and those oh-so-important logic skills.

Teach on, everyone!

UPDATE: By popular demand, a third and fourth volume of Brain Teasers are also now available. Click here for Vol. 3 and here for Vol. 4. Enjoy!
