They are especially great for multiplication practice during the craziness of October and Halloween! Watch the preview for a short clip from the video.Have you tried EVERYTHING to get your students to memorize their multiplication tables? I did, too. My most successful method was starting with what most 3rd graders already knew (counting by 2, 5, and 10), then showing them how skip counting was actually multiplication. Next, explaining the commutative property for multiplication. Then, teaching the times table rules for 0 and 1. Once this is done, you can show students on a chart (included) that there are only 21 facts left to learn. I created a zombie rhyme for each one of these 21 multiplication facts.

I came up with multiplication rhymes to help our son who has dyscalculia memorize his multiplication facts. We first memorized the rhyme, and then during test(s), he is able to use his manipulative if he is unable to recall the answer. He uses the source that does not have the answer listed. Many times when giving a clue word, such as (3 x 8 - I will just say floor, and he can immediately give me the answer of 24). Numbers have no real value for him, so we have to come up with other fun ways for him to be able to quickly recall numbers, such as the rhymes to help him keep up in Math.

Another pile, put corresponding multiplication fact cards. Mix these together on the floor in a big pile. Pick a group of four or five students. When you say go, players have two minutes to unscramble and match every addition sentence with its partner multiplication sentence.Multiplication ConcentrationThis is a good small-group game for three or four players. Give students a set of index cards and have them write assigned multiplication facts on each card. Now provide another set of index cards and have them write the corresponding products on each card. Have each player put out four matching card sets from their deck. Mix these together and then deal them out face down on a desk. Play a game of Concentration, with each player picking two cards, flipping them over, and seeing how many matches they can find. The most matches wins!Multiplication RhymesCan you write rhymes to go with your multiplication facts? Give each student a set of 10 facts, a lined paper or drawing paper, pencil, and colored pencils or crayons. Provide some examples on the board such as these few from a 3 times table: 3 x 4 = open the door, 3 x 5 = bees in the hive, 3 x 6 = too many sticks, and so on. When completed, have students share their rhymes aloud with the class. You can extend the activity by letting students illustrate their rhymes, which makes for a very creative bulletin board.Spinner, Spinner, Multiplication WinnerSarah Cason via We Are TeachersMake a simple spinner with a paper clip and a pencil. Start by having students draw a circle. Tracing around a coffee-can lid is an easy way to do it. Divide the circle up into 10 sections using a ruler. Color the sections and write numbers 0 to 9 on them. Place the paper clip and pencil down in the middle of the circle. Flick the paper clip so it spins. Whatever number it points to is your first factor. Spin again to find the second factor. Multiply them, and that is your score for the round. Your partner does the same.
