In the fourth grade we teach multiplication facts. The students are to memorize 0-12. To help them learn these facts we play a lot of different games. This one is called Multiplication Memory. All throughout the day different kids are given the chance to pick one factor pair from the right and one product from the left. If the product answered the factor pairs they keep the cards in a baggy, but if they don’t match they have to put them back in the same place they were in to start with. Each table plays as a team and they are also playing against the teachers. At the end of the week the team with the most card wins and we continue each week until the game is over. This works on a couple of skills for my classroom. Following side regions, attention span, working memory, and multiplication. —–tip—each of the colors corespond with a set of multiples but I don’t tell the kids that 🙂
