Multiplication ideas
By Michaela

I have done multiplication licenses and multiplication passports. I made the licenses similiar to drivers licenses with picture and student info. At the bottom, I put the numbers 1-12. I laminated each card and as the
students learned each table, I covered the number of the corresponding times table with a small star sticker. When all 12 were covered the student received their 'license to multiply'. For the passports, I modeled them after real passports and made a page for each times table. As the student learned each table, we stamped the date and a word (unfortunately, I can't remember what it was,

passed, cancelled, something like that) on the corresponding page in the passport. Both went over well with the kids. A student who graduated this year told me she still has her license. (I have done the multiplication sundaes for the last few years, but I'm getting tired of them too.)
