Multiplication practice kids actually ask to do!

This pack has 100 Color by Answer Puzzles. Students solve each multiplication fact, find the matching square on a 10 x 10 grid, and color it. When every fact is done, a hidden picture appears. Every picture comes with a student page AND an answer key, so there is zero prep for you.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Multiply the two numbers and write the product.
2. Find the square: go across to the first number, then up to the second.
3. Color that square with the color shown in the brackets.

Example: 7 x 5 = 35 (red). Go across to 7, up to 5, and color the square red.

WHAT'S INCLUDED (205 pages, US Letter)

* 100 student pages, each with a blank 10 x 10 grid and a list of multiplication facts to solve
* 100 answer keys showing the finished picture and every product
* A 2-page teacher index showing all 100 pictures and their names
* A How to Play page with teacher tips
* Pictures numbered 1-100, so you can hand out any one you choose

THE PICTURES

100 different pictures in four groups: animals, food, nature and everyday objects. Think fox, panda, owl, apple, ice cream, sunflower, rocket, key, house and many more. Each picture uses 2-5 colors, and each has between about 20 and 85 facts, so you can pick shorter ones for quick practice and longer ones for a big challenge.

WHY TEACHERS LOVE IT

* Self-checking: a wrong product leaves a hole or wrong color in the picture, so students spot their own mistakes.
* Facts use the 1-10 times tables, so it works all year as review.
* Builds reading points on a grid (across first, then up), a first step toward coordinate graphing.
* Black-and-white friendly: just print the student pages and hand out crayons or colored pencils.
* Perfect for math centers, early finishers, morning work, homework, sub plans, intervention and test-prep review.

HOW TO USE

* Print the student pages (single-sided or double-sided) and keep the answer keys for yourself.
* Give students crayons, markers or colored pencils.
* Want students to self-check? Place the answer keys at a center.
* Print only the pictures you need. Each one stands on its own.
