Thanksgiving Math Activities Multiplication Task Cards Scoot

Need a fun Thanksgiving math activity for your students? Review multiplication facts and build number sense with these 32 Thanksgiving themed multiplication scoot task cards on the 1-12 times tables.

These cards feature colorful 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 an addition number sentence

• writing a multiplication fact for a given array

• writing the missing factor

• writing the product of two given numbers

• writing a multiplication fact for a given illustration (group, collection)

• filling in the blanks with numbers next in sequence

• relating multiplication and addition

• completing the multiplication facts for illustrations

• problem-solving using illustrations

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are two sets of Recording Sheets (Numbers 1-16 and 17-32). Students have a choice between the scaffolded (to elicit the desired response) and blank sectioned. An answer key is provided to have students independently check their answers. Prior to having students work on the cards, work-out similar sample questions on the board to familiarize students with the question types.

SUGGESTED USE

• Small group rotations (cards may be rotated among small groups of students)

• Math Centers

• Early Finishers

• Morning Work

• Warm-up/Tuning in Activity

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 (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 :)
