Multiplication and division are the building blocks of math that every student needs to learn. As a teacher, one of your duties is to help students not just memorize multiplication and division, but also understand the underlying concepts behind them. In this article, we’ll discuss various activities to teach students multiplication and division facts up to 10, true or false.

True or False Multiplication Fact Drill

This activity is a fun way to learn multiplication facts. Begin by dividing your students into groups of two. Next, have each group make a list of multiplication problems with the answers either true or false. For example, “3 x 4 = 12, True or False?” Once your class is ready, have each group exchange their list with another group. Now, the other group must solve the multiplication problem and indicate whether the answer is true or false.

Math Riddles

Riddles are a fun way to engage and challenge students. To do this activity, come up with multiplication and division problems up to 10 and write them on index cards. On each index card, write a riddle that gives a clue to the answer. For example, “I am an even number and divisible by 5. What am I?” The answer is 10. Students will love trying to solve the riddles while practicing multiplication and division.

Multiplication Dice Game

A dice game can be another engaging way to teach multiplication facts. The game requires two dice. You can modify the game rules depending on the level of your students. To begin, have each student roll two dice. Then, they must multiply the two numbers together to find the answer. The student with the highest number gets a point. You can also modify the game to encourage teamwork by having students work together to arrive at the answer.

Multiplication/Division Match-Up

This game can be played as a whole class or in small groups. Begin by making two sets of cards. One set will have multiplication facts and the other set will have division facts. Shuffle the cards and lay them out face down on the table. Players take turns flipping over two cards to find a match. If a multiplication fact card matches a division fact card, the player keeps the pair of cards. The player with the most pairs of cards at the end of the game wins.

These are just a few examples of activities that can be used to teach multiplication and division facts up to 10, true or false. Remember to keep the activities engaging and fun as students are more likely to learn and retain the information when they are enjoying themselves. By using these activities, your students will not just memorize multiplication and division, but also understand the fundamental concepts behind them.
