"Multiplication Fact Bingo, Plus Single-Digit Multiplication Practice" is a worksheet that begins with a game of multiplication fact bingo. Different single-digit multiplication problems are displayed in ovals with a bingo board on the right-hand side of the page. Students solve each multiplication problem and see if the answer is on the bingo board. If it is, they color the oval and the square on the board red. If not, they cross off the oval. They win by getting three answers across, down, or diagonally.
Underneath is a section with lines of numbers, multiplication symbols, and equal signs. Students must find the problems that are listed below. For example, a line might display 7 7 x 4 = 2 8 6. Students would circle 7 x 4 = 2 8.
Lastly, there's a section where students can practice finding the answers to single-digit math facts. Single digits range from 0 to 9, with some worksheets focusing on different numbers. For example, one worksheet focuses on the same digits, like 3 x 3 and 6 x 6, while another focuses on problems that contain the number 2, like 2 x 7 and 9 x 2.
Students should learn how to solve multiplication problems, but it can be very helpful for them to learn single-digit multiplication facts without having to calculate the answer every time. This encourages mental math, and it can make solving larger multiplication problems easier.
Timed tests are one way to practice, but some students can buckle under the pressure. Whether you use timed tests or not, you should find other ways for students to practice their facts, too.
Multiplication bingo is a fun way for students to practice their facts. Instead of writing out the answer, they have to think of the answer and find it on their bingo card.
Students can search for equations in a word search-style puzzle where they have to circle the correct equations. You could also introduce algebraic concepts by giving students an equation with the answer, and they fill in the missing factor.
