Multiplication Timed Tests |
| Subject: |
Mathematics |

Grade: |

Description: |
Students get 3 minutes (or however many you choose) to multiply each number in the grid by a common factor (2s, 3s, 4s, etc.). There are 70 problems to complete, allowing students to practice their basic multiplication facts. Once they complete their 2s through 12s (or whatever you choose), they can start all over again and you can have them try to comlpete the multiplication grid in 2 minutes. It's "drill and kill" at its best, but still extremely effective when you want students in grades 3-5 to memorize their multiplication facts. A page to track progress is included; I allow students 6 opportunities to pass each test with a 100 percent.... |
