Math Centers

In order to better master our multiplication skills, students have been spending the past 3 weeks rotating through multiplication themed centers. Students use manipulative cubes and ice cube trays to group numbers and multiply unknown equations while recording their findings in a journal like Asha is in the photograph above, or multiply while hopscotching like Nasra is below. 

Other multiplication centers include:

Multiplication Memory: Students match the product to the problem.

Multiplication Checkers: Students can't move the piece until they answer the multiplication problem on the square they are trying to move to.

Word Problems: Students write their own multiplication word problems using lists of things that come in groups of 2-12 we have created that are hanging in the classroom.
