Instructional Ideas

• Have individuals complete the facts independently, in centers, or with a partner
• Make sure students know that facts must be written in the correct order with the division/multiplication sign in the correct place in order for the fact sentence to be true

Classroom Considerations

• Works best in centers or during the summer for additional problem solving practice
• Assumes pupils have experience in working with multiplication and division facts with products and dividends staying between 1 and 100
• Remind class members that sentence facts can be found horizontally (front and back), vertically (up and down), and diagonally

Pros

• Reinforces multiplication and division fact practice
• Fun way to memorize facts

Cons

• None
