Multiplication Facts and Spring Activities
First of all, knowing multiplication facts with instant recall is so important for numerous other math topics. Topics such as adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators, greatest common factors, least common multiples, multiplying integers and multiplying fractions. This is very crucial for upper level students and a foundational piece for upper elementary students. I even use multiplication myself for long division as I think of the inverse operation to help me solve division problems. Upper elementary students NEED multiplication facts
Full disclosure: I know my multiplication facts faster than my division facts. Ssssh, don’t tell my students.

Students do their best work when they are able to concentrate on the new math topic in front of them.
There are so many different ways to practice multiplication facts…games, songs, flashcards, traditional worksheets, color by number activities or even using art mediums like sidewalk chalk, paint or window markers. One of my all-time favorites continues to be color by code printables though. 🖍️🖍️🖍️
