A fun way for students to practice representing multiplication in a variety of ways

Use this hands-on activity when exploring different ways to represent multiplication.

In this activity, students create a multiplication word problem and then represent it using repeated addition, an array, equal groups, jumps on a number line, and a multiplication number sentence.

We have included the foldout template on tabloid for you to print on the larger size, giving students more space to write. Use the drop-down menu to choose this download.

This activity works well when used in math centers during your multiplication unit.
