It has been a bittersweet summer this year. I am cherishing every minute with my daughter and I am working hard to get back into “teacher” mode. Summer is my favorite time of the year and I am looking forward to my family’s yearly trip to the Outer Banks in NC…but that week borders on the start of the school year.
One thing that I am doing to get ready for the school year is cleaning out and organizing my math centers and games. This is proving to be a challenge but it is time to reprint, laminate and box up fresher versions of my items after 9 years of wear and tear.
Today’s project was reprinting, laminating, and cutting my Multiplication “Multiples” Clip Cards. These cards are always a hit for students to use. They enjoy using them after they finish their work or as a center. This year I updated them to include 3 worksheets. I wanted a way to include an accountability piece to the center.
Students attach a clothespin to the numbers they think are multiples and then flip the card over for a quick self-check.
This bundle includes multiple cards for numbers 2-11. It also includes 3 worksheets for continued multiple practice and center accountability.
I have used these in my classroom for years and I am happy to share them with your today.
1.) Print out the cards on cardstock or paper of your choice. Cut out entire card.
2.) Fold each card in half and glue together.
3.) Laminate if you choose to do so (to help them last longer).
4.) I put them in a basket in my classroom with some clothespins.
My students love to use these cards to practice their multiples when they finish their classwork, during indoor recess, and during math center games.
I will post pictures of the final cards once I get some more ink for my printer (teacher problems).
