Multiplication Facts

We've started learning our multiplication facts! The facts for x1 and x2 are becoming fairly solid, but most students need to work on the speed at which they can give an answer. These facts can be practiced with a deck of regular cards in much the same way as students play "WAR." A deck of cards is divided between two players, with face cards removed. Students flip the top card of each stack fac up. The student who can gives teh correct product of these two cards wins the cards. Play continues until all cards are used. The player with the most cards is the winner!
