Mulitply by 11 & 12



Learning how to multiply by 11

Have students sit across from each other with whiteboards. One person writes a math problem like 11 x 3 = ___ and their partner (human calculator) tells them the answer. As soon as they earn 10 points, they switch roles.


Learning how to multiply by 12

One teammate writes 12 x 1 = ___

12 x 2 = ___

and so on to 12 x 12.

The other person writes 12 + 12 on their whiteboard and tells their teammate the answer 12 times two is 24. She/he records it. Continue adding 12 to the previous answer to complete the 12's chart.


Fun to play this with format of The Amazing Race TV show. The first 5 teams to arrive with the chart completed earn a spot in the next round. Any team arriving after are lucky it is NOT an elimination round, they only en cure a speed bump (do 5 more problems....????)
