"Practicing Multiplication Facts With Multiplication Wheels" is a worksheet that asks students to multiply the numbers in the middle of each wheel by the number in the center of the wheel. The outside of the wheel contains blank space where students can write each answer.
General single-digit multiplication practice is situated between sets of multiplication wheels. Problems are displayed horizontally with space for students to write the answer next to the equal sign.
All sections repeat the numbers used in the multiplication wheel in the single-digit multiplication problems below. For example, if the number in the center of the wheels contains a 2, all problems listed below contain the number 2. If numbers in the center are different, like they display 4, 3, and 9, then the problems listed below are mixed with any number from 0 to 9.
Practicing multiplication facts can help students learn to memorize them so that more complex math problems are easier to solve. The best way to help your students memorize multiplication facts is to let them practice solving one-digit multiplication problems in a variety of ways.
For example, students might solve multiplication problems that are listed horizontally and vertically. They can see how many they can solve in 60 seconds, or they can see how many times they have to spin a fidget spinner before they complete the page.
If your students aren't quite ready for a timed test yet because they need more practice, consider incorporating multiplication facts into puzzles. Multiplication wheels can be a fun way for students to practice their multiplication facts. Word find-style puzzles can be fun too, where students must circle multiplication facts horizontally. For example, in a line that reads 7 3 x 4 = 1 2 9, students would circle 3 x 4 = 1 2.
