Times Tables PowerPoint (Times Two, Times One and Times Zero)

Made for my grade 3 class who are just starting to formally learn their times-tables.
Very visual resource using arrays with dots, hundred charts, step counting and various sum flashcards.

PowerPoint activity/presentation progressing in this slide order:

1. Counting in steps of two up to 120 from 0.
2. Count to 24 in steps of 2 with array being built.
3. 100 square count in steps of two with pattern being revealed (2 sec each step).
4. 100 square count in steps of two with pattern being revealed (1 sec each step).
5. Double the number with numbers in random order (doubling function in-out machine design).
6. 2 times table with sum and array in order.
7. 2 times table with sum and array turnaround in order.
8. 2 times table with sum but no array
9. 2 times table with sum and array out of order.
10. Answer shown and student to give sum.

Also included are the x0 and x1 timetables. Often overlooked when teaching multiplication, but essential to grasping a true understanding.

First slide is ‘times zero’ times table and shows a fixed golden zero with sum twisting in and out.
Emphasizing the rule that;
“When you multiply a number by zero, the answer is always zero”

Second slide is ‘times one’ times table and shows the multiplicand (the number being multiplied) emerging from itself and sliding over to the product (the answer)
Emphasizing the rule that;
“Any Number Times One is that Number / 1 x anything = itself”
