Click on Preview to get a FREE copy of 2 Facts Multiplication Booklet!
These multiplication fact booklets can be used to help students understand the concept of multiplication through repeated addition using equal groups as well as help them memorize multiplication facts. Check out the blog post here for more information on the booklets.
The previous set of multiplication booklets was winter themed, while this new set is not holiday/season themed making it suitable for use anytime during the year.
I have made use of cute clipart such as ducks, aliens, gumballs, cookies and donuts to make learning the multiplication facts fun.
There are 12 total booklets (1 facts-12 facts) that are each seven pages long and are cut into half to make a booklet that's 14 pages in total. Each booklet also contains a facts page for the multiplication fact so the student can refer to it if necessary. Check out the blog post about these booklets here.
On each page students will fill in the blanks for the following details:
The booklets can be used as morning work, bell work, extra activities for early finishers, or even homework. The booklets come in one version, for front only copies.
Teaching students these multiplication foundations, is a tremendous help to students as they work on math fluency and automaticity.
Check out the preview to see a full copy of the 2 facts booklet included to make sure it is what you need. This is the complete set of the 2 facts booklet, so feel free to use this, to sample out whether this product will work for you.
