How to Use This Pack

Six pages of multiplication practice with Halloween pictures along the bottom. Pages 1 and 2 are timed drills of 36 facts each, written in digit boxes, with lines for the start and end time. Page 3 starts with a row to answer, then four rows with a missing factor or a missing digit in the product. Page 4 shows equal jumps from 0, like 0, 3, 6, 9, 12: students write the size of each jump and the fact it makes (4 jumps of 3 make 12, so 4 × 3 = 12). Pages 5 and 6 practice multiplying by 6 and by 7, then end with two fact family triangles.

In the Classroom

Use the timed pages across a week of fact practice, with students recording their times. The jump page connects skip counting to multiplication and is a good one to model on the board first.

At Home

Time page 1 one day and page 2 the next. For a tricky fact, skip count together on your fingers until you reach it.

Tips for Success

• Skip count to check a fact you are not sure of
• For a missing factor, ask: what times this makes that?
• The first jump box is an example, already filled in
• Facts with 0, 1, and 10 are quick wins: do them first
