CHRISTMAS ACTIVITY: CHRISTMAS MULTIPLICATION SCOOT Review multiplication facts and build number sense with these 32 Christmas themed multiplication scoot cards on the 1-12 times tables. These cards feature colourful Christmas themed illustrations to make abstract content more concrete and meaningful. There are two styles to the Recording Sheets, one scaffolded to elicit the desired response, and the other includes blank answer sections. The multiplication skills for the 1-12 times tables reinforced in this pack are: ✓ writing a multiplication fact for a number sentence ✓ writing a multiplication fact for a given array, tens frame ✓ writing a multiplication fact for a given group ✓ writing the missing factor ✓ writing the product of two given numbers ✓ writing a multiplication fact for a given illustration ✓ filling in the blanks for a given times table ✓ problem solving using illustrations SUGGESTED USE → Small group rotations (cards may be rotated among small groups of students) → Math Centers → Game of Scoot: There are many variations to the game. Here’s one: Place cards around the classroom. When the teacher calls ‘scoot’ students read a card and write their response against the corresponding card number in the provided Recording Sheet. Students can only move when ‘scoot’ is called out. If the student does not finish solving the problem on a card, he/she can continue to spend more time on it, but must wait till the teacher calls out ‘scoot’. You can also have this as a silent activity where students move around quietly solving all the task cards without the teacher calling out ‘scoot’. ****************************************************************************** PREPARATION ♦ Stack and perfectly align sheets. Cut along task card borders carefully. Work with 3 sheets at a time for better manipulation. ♦ Laminate cards for durability. There are four cards on a single sheet. ♦ Store cards in zip-loc bags (small plastic pouches). ♦ Place cards and copies of Recording Sheets (2 options) in file folder. ♦ Glue file folder cover (2 options included) on folder. ****************************************************************************** SUGGESTED USE ♦ You may break up the activity and have students do cards 1-16 during one session and 17-32 the next. There are 2 recording sheets for this purpose. ♦ I generally have cards 1-16 placed on one section of the classroom walls, and cards 17-32 on the opposite side. This is to cater to all; students who would perhaps need more time and the early finishers. **There is so much fun and excitement as kids walk around the classroom solving the cards. They seem to be racing to finish them all :)
