SUMMER MULTIPLICATION SCOOT

Review multiplication facts and build number sense with these 32 Summer-themed multiplication scoot cards on the 1-12 times tables. These cards feature colourful Summer-themed illustrations to make abstract content more concrete and meaningful. There are two styles to the Recording Sheets, one scaffolded to elicit the desired response, and the other includes blank answer sections.

The multiplication skills for the 1-12 times tables reinforced in this pack are:

• writing a multiplication fact for an addition number sentence
• writing a multiplication fact for a given array
• writing the missing factor
• writing the product of two given numbers
• writing a multiplication fact for a given illustration (group, collection)
• filling in the blanks with numbers next in sequence
• relating multiplication and addition
• product of a square number
• completing the multiplication facts for illustrations
• problem solving using illustrations

There are two sets of Recording Sheets (Numbers 1-16 and 17-32). Students have a choice between the scaffolded and blank sectioned Recording Sheets. An answer key is provided to have students independently check their answers.

Prior to having students work on the cards, work-out similar sample questions on the board to familiarise students with the question types.

SUGGESTED USE

• Small group rotations (cards may be rotated among small groups of students)
• Math Centers
• Game of Scoot:
  There are many variations to the game. Here’s one:Lay cards around the classroom. When the teacher calls ‘scoot’ students pick up a card and write their response on the provided Recording Sheet. Students can only move when ‘scoot’ is called out. If the student does not finish solving the problem on a card, he/she can continue to spend more time on it, but must wait till the teacher calls out ‘scoot’. You can also have this as a silent activity where students move around quietly solving all the task cards without the teacher calling out ‘scoot’.

At the culmination of the activity, project the cards on the interactive whiteboard and discuss the answers with the class. Alternatively, place answer sheets at a Center for students to self-check.
