M&M Multiplication

Memorizing math facts is essential, but some personalities don't enjoy the drilling. I like to find a variety of ways to practice and memorize math facts, especially with games.

The newest ways we'll be working on memorizing multiplication this week will include M&Ms and some autumn-themed templates.

Autumn Bingo Cards - Each picture on the bingo card will be equated with a product.  The caller will say a multiplication problem aloud and when the players know the answer, they will cover the picture on their bingo card that represents that answer (with an M&M).  When someone gets a BINGO, they get to eat the M&Ms in that row.

M&M Autumn Tree - Players will roll two dice and multiply the numbers shown.  If the player gets the answer correct, he or she will get to place a fall-colored M&M in place. The first person to fill a tree wins.

Math is sweet!
