Three Times Table Educational Cards for Elementary Students

Help your youngsters secure their knowledge and understanding of the 3 times tables through exploration, using these fun, high quality, math task cards. There are 2 separate sets of pdf task cards available to download, one focusing on the use of everyday concrete objects and the other on pictorial representations. Both sets of cards encourage the use of repeated addition and multiplication equations to develop understanding and show findings in mathematical written form.

Set A cards are designed for learners who need/ enjoy showing math concepts in a practical way, for example showing 4 groups of 3 with socks and pegs or multilink towers. Children need to show the representation through making, placing or building, then write on the laminated cards a repeated addition and a multiplication equation for it. There are 12 cards in this set from 1x3 up to 12x3. They offers versatility as students can show practically and photograph as evidence or for use on a math working wall or bulletin board. They can use a dry wipe pen to write the equations on each card or they could copy and complete the equations in their workbook once the practical task has been completed.

Set B cards focus on pictorial representations, where students use the visual prompt to then write a repeated addition and multiplication equation in their workbook. Once learners are confident with this stage, they should then find abstract representations, reasoning and problem solving easier so they can apply their knowledge and understanding with a greater degree of confidence.

These task cards vary in size. Set A cards are approximately A5 in size, whereas Set B cards are approximately A6 in size. Set B requires no further prep once they’re printed and laminated. Simply use as often as needed on math centers, interventions, small group work or early finishing tasks.

Set A will require a little prep but the concrete materials needed are popular everyday objects, with picture clues as to what is needed in order to complete each task. Both sets of task cards include an answer card to encourage peer and self assessment opportunities, as well as teacher assessment.
