Preparing For Tables

Preparing For Tables is a 34-page teaching resource that builds a solid foundation to get students ready for learning multiplication tables. It uses a variety of activities such as counting, pattern recognition, rhymes, songs, picture stories, repetitive addition, and sequential development to develop number sense and prepare students for learning times tables. The pages cover numbers 0-10 and use engaging methods like coloring, drawing, and filling in missing numbers to involve students. Questions get progressively more difficult to challenge students at their own level. This resource helps teachers systematically develop students' number abilities so they will be primed for tackling multiplication tables in the future. The pages are suitable for whole group, small group, or independent work to fit different classroom needs for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade.
