Multiplication and Division Made Fun




Facts. They are so important to know.

Think about how often you use numbers in your every day life. Gas cost $2.25 and it take 10 gallons to fill my tank, bananas are 75 cents each and my family eats 8 in a week, I have 24 students present today, but they need to work in groups of 4… and so on. You solve these problems quickly in your head, because you are fluent with your math facts giving you the ability to manipulate numbers. 

What is someone does not know their facts? Then 75 x 8 becomes 75 + 75 + 75 + 75 and before they get to 8 they have given up. 

In second grade students are introduced to the concept of multiplication and are expected to fluently multiply and divide within 100 by third grade (3.OA.7). This is a foundational skill that students must master in order to be successful in fourth and fifth grade… and life going forward. 

How do you teach these foundational skills? How do you support students that should know their facts, but don’t? Drill and practice? Flash cards? No! Learning needs to be fun. It needs to be engaging. It needs to be hands-on.


Keeping Up with Mrs. Harris and I collaborated to make your multiplication and division instruction, as well as, RTI time easy. We created games that will captivate students, they won’t realize they are learning, but at the same time they will foster fluency and accuracy of these facts.

I introduced these games during my small group instruction., to ensure students knew exactly how to play and to model my own mathematical thinking as I played along side them. Once students understand how to play each game it is easy to tailor activities to meet the needs of each student. You can pull specific facts out to focus on, or provide various manipulatives for those busy students.

Make multiplication and division engaging! The Computation Intervention Bundle: Multiplication and Division will ensure your instruction is fun for all students.

If your students are still struggling with addition and subtraction we have that covered too. Our ComputationInterventionBundle:Numbers0-20 will build on the prerequisite skills needed for multiplication and division.
