Features

  • 60 cards: the 2s, 5s and 10s, multiplying and dividing
  • The fact on the front, stacked as in a column
  • The answer on the back, with the fact small in the corner for sorting
  • A thick green (multiplying) or purple (dividing) frame on every front, so the cards are easy to turn the right way
  • Backs laid out to print double-sided, or the fronts and then the backs on a one-sided printer

Skills Covered

  • Know the 2s, 5s and 10s
  • Multiply and divide by 2, 5 and 10
  • Skip count by 2s, 5s and 10s
  • See division as the opposite of multiplication
  • Check an answer on the back
  • Practice the facts a child misses

How to Use This Pack

Sixty flash cards, eight to a sheet: 2 × 1 to 2 × 10, 5 × 1 to 5 × 10 and 10 × 1 to 10 × 10, then the facts that divide by 2, 5 and 10. Each front shows a fact stacked as in a column; its back shows the answer, with the fact printed small in the corner for sorting. Print the pack double-sided and flip on the long edge: each back sheet is laid out mirrored, so every card's back lands behind its front. On a printer that prints one side, choose Fronts only under Print, put the printed sheets back in the paper tray, then choose Backs only. Fronts have a thick frame and backs a thin one, so a card turned the wrong way stands out.

In the Classroom

Start with the multiplication cards. Once those are quick, mix in the division cards and ask for the multiplication fact behind each one. Partners take turns showing a card and answering, turning it over to check.

At Home

Skip count out loud together first (5, 10, 15, ...), then try the cards. A few minutes a day keeps the facts fresh.

Tips for Success

  • Times 2 is a double: 2 × 8 = 8 + 8
  • Times 5 ends in 5 or 0
  • Times 10 puts a 0 on the end
  • Think multiplication to divide: 35 ÷ 5 = 7 because 5 × 7 = 35
  • Card stock makes the cards last

Common Core Standards Alignment

This pack supports the following Common Core State Standards for Mathematics:

  • 2.OA.C.3 Decide if up to 20 objects are odd or even (match them in twos or skip count by 2s); write evens as doubles.
  • 2.NBT.A.2 Count up to 1,000, and count by fives, tens and hundreds.
  • 3.OA.C.7 Multiply and divide to 100 fluently with strategies, and by year's end instantly recall every product of two single-digit numbers.
