Timed Multiplication Tests Ahhhhhh!!!

It has been 2 weeks now since we started our unit on multiplication and we are wracking our brains for these timed tests! We already can skip count by 2, 5, and 10... multiplying by 1 and 0 is easy pea-zy, lemon squeezy, and we are working on our 3s and 4s. Students are given 50 question, 5 minute timed tests at least 3 times a week that focus on these facts so that we can keep track of the multiples we've mastered. There is a chart we graph our successes and track the multiples we need to be tested on. The 50 questions start on multiples of 0-2 and work their way up to 0-12. Once we master the 2s, we move onto 3s, 4s, and so on. Right now we have students taking tests at the 2,3,4, and 5 levels. The best part of these timed tests is that they always review and incorporate the facts we've mastered so that we don't forget. We love multiplication!!
