My second grade friends were playing Circles and Stars in math workshop this week, and it got my mind thinking about the different ways multiplication can be represented. Short post tonight, because I'm under the weather, but I wanted to share this little freebie with you. Click on any of the printables to download your free copy!

Aw, thanks, Beth! Enjoy the games!
DeleteI love your ideas. I am an avid fan and reader of your blog. Thanks so much for these...am going to try them tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I hope the kiddos love the games. :)
DeleteThanks so much again! I had pinned this page during the summer and am using your pages today. We are doing Multiplication Mondays. Hope it will help the meaning of multiplication sink in. I am sure these ideas will help so much!
ReplyDeleteOh, that sounds like fun! I have no doubt it will help them understand multiplication better. :)
DeleteThanks for sharing! These certainly will help my special ed students "see" multiplication facts better!

Teaching Special Kids
My pleasure! And you're absolutely right about your kiddos. Plus they'll have fun with the activities. :)
DeleteThank you for your ideas - both shared and purchasable. As a middle school math teacher new to 2nd grade - I really appreciate your approach!!
ReplyDeleteWow, Linda, what a transition for you! When you've taught in older grades (I taught 5th for many years), I think you really appreciate activities that build a strong foundation.
DeleteDonna,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for these great activities to show different ways to help multiply. I'm starting to tutor a 4th grade tomorrow (every Tuesday and Thursday) for an hour and his mom wants me to focus on basic multiplication. I will be bringing this with me tomorrow. I think it's a good way to start it and I think he will enjoy it!
