UPDATE: I have finally finished the set and you can download the x2s – x12s here: http://tjmathematics.blogspot.com/2013/02/multiplication-file-folder-games.html) as well as a division set here: http://tjmathematics.blogspot.com/2013/02/division-facts-file-folder-set.html
Well, my third grader is working on memorizing his multiplication facts and I wanted some little activities other than drill sheets.
Below are some printables for practicing the math facts that we have made. My 12 year old daughter and I brainstormed themes for the different times tables and she is the designer/creator of these printables (she’s more artistic than I am). So this is her project this week and I will be adding on printables for the different tables (x3, x4, etc) as she completes them, insha Allah.
They can be made for file folder games or possibly compiled into one book for a lapbook.
These will eventually end up on the main TJ site, insha Allah.
x4 Tables – Shirts/Hangers
x8 Tables – Octopus (defaced)/Cave
x9 Tables – Open Book/Bookmark
Once they are all complete, I am planning on putting them in one book so they will be handy insha Allah.
If you are looking for other ideas for using them, other than just matching, you might try placing the unmounted pieces in a tic tac toe board or bingo and playing those games with them or get a board game template and make some sort of board game.
For the lapbook/file folders, I would also suggest varying the parts that are mounted, sometimes mount the answer, sometimes mount the question.
