MULTIPLICATION RESOURCES

• The Multiplication Course by Steve Wyborney is a highly interactive multiplication course – free on YouTube – created by the teacher behind SPLAT!  The videos are completely ready for all students, all teachers, all parents, everyone! The course teaches students deep, rich, and important multiplication concepts while they are also learning multiplication facts.  It also puts students in control of their learning, allowing them to pause the think deeply, allowing them time to write, allowing them to discover important math ideas.

• The Product Game turns students' practice with factors and multiples into a fun two-player game.

• Partial Product Finder - The Partial Product Finder allows multiplication combinations (up to 50 x 50) to be represented as a rectangle, or array. This helps students develop the flexibility and conceptual understanding required to build fluency with basic facts and strategies for multiplication of larger numbers. 

• How Close to 100? - Using 2 dice and arrays students compete to cover as much of a blank 100 grid as they can.

• Interactive Multiplication Chart - simple online interactive tool that gives you a filled in multiplication table and the ability to color it in any way you want.

• Multiplication Representation Cards - Use these cards to get students into groups by matching cards with different representations of multiplication (area models, word problems, partial products, and distributive property).

• Bunny Times - a game that uses arrays to help students practice using area models to multiply numbers. 

• Fizz Buzz Hoot - This game is guaranteed to crack up your class as they have to keep track of the multiples of 3, 4, and 5 as they count in a circle. 
• • Round One: Students count off around the circle, but instead of saying the name of any multiples of 3, they say "Fizz". So it will go something like, "1, 2, Fizz, 4, 5, Fizz, 7, 8, Fizz,..." Once students get the hang of that, you can start Round Two. 
  • In round two, students replace the multiples of 4 with the word, "Buzz" - so "1, 2, 3, Buzz, 5, 6, 7, Buzz...". 
  • Round three is similar, except students are replacing the word, "Hoot" for any multiples of 5 - so "1, 2, 3, 4, Hoot, 6, 7, 8, 9, Hoot,...". 
  • Give your students some time to play each round focused on an individual set of multiples. If and when they are ready, have them try a combination round, where they have to use two of the words (Fizz/Buzz focuses on multiples of 3 and 4, Buzz/Hoot focuses on multiples of 4 and 5, Fizz/Hoot focuses on multiples of 3 and 5. 
  • The biggest challenge is to play "Fizz, Buzz, Hoot," where students have to replace any multiples of 3, 4, and 5 with their corresponding word. It will sound something like this "I, 2, Fizz, Buzz, Hoot, Fizz, 7, Buzz, Fizz, Hoot, 11, Fizz/Buzz (because 12 is a Fizz and a Buzz), 13, 14, Fizz/Hoot,..."
