ED is working on the 8s multiplication facts. I’ve found that the other multiplication packets I made have worked really, really well for her. This lizard-themed worksheet packet wound up being 37 pages. 🙂 There’s a FREE multiplication and division (for the 8s) game board for you later in the post. 🙂 Skip Counting Song for the 8s In our family the kids sang the 8s to the tune of...

Recently I came across these multiplication game boards I made for LD years ago. Originally I made it for LD to practice his 7s, but then I made another for the 6s. I thought ED would have fun reviewing her 6s and 7s facts when we start back to school. We’ve been playing these daily since the holidays! I’m going to share this game again for those who might be...

These winter-themed worksheets are mostly for division practice, but there are a few pages of general multiplication worksheets too. There are 9 pages total. These are free to download. 🙂 Hope someone can use these! If you use them we’d love to hear from you. ED always loves when she...

Here are a few math review sheets I put into ED’s math workbox this week. (I almost forgot to share it!) So better late than never, right?!! These pages have a little bit of everything–addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. She has just started on double-digit multiplication, but she likes having “fun” math sheets too. Hope someone else can use these! 🙂 ~Liesl Christmas Math Worksheets You might be interested...

Multiplication Facts for the 4s and 9s (and more!)! As my daughter moved into learning her multiplication facts I looked around for the kind of multiplication practice that would help her. The math book she was using went through the math facts a bit too quickly for her. She needed quite a bit of repetition and wanted bright, colorful worksheets. I wound up making my own sets of practice pages...

I have a 30-page Halloween-themed Multiplication Packet to share with my amazing readers today! This packet has 20 or so multiplication worksheets.

Today I have a freebie for you. My kids still love playing Minecraft… and ED likes the Minecraft themed math worksheet characters I made. So, here’s yet another set of Minecraft math worksheets! I made these for practicing multiplication by 7s (for beginners). ED knows the “song” for skip-counting by 7s. We sing the 7s to the tune of Row, Row, Row Your Boat: 7, 14 21 28, 35 42...

The past week or so, ED has been playing some online multiplication games to work on her math facts. I wanted to highlight some of the ones she has been having fun with. My girls’ favorite from multiplication.com is called Fairy Fun. The picture adds more and more detail as you answer the problems correctly. You can highlight more than one set of multiplication facts (you could select 2s, 3s and...

ED is working on her multiplication facts this year. She has been skip counting by 6s for the past year in large part because of the hand-clapping game I made up for the girls last year. I’ll post that video in below. This year she’s moving on to learning the multiplication facts. She is doing really well with the 3s now… and while most people would go on to the...

The weather is gorgeous, so once again it was time to take advantage of the lovely temperatures, get active, and practice some math! For this game we drew a giant circle out of chalk and put numbers into each space all around the circle. Which numbers? We wrote down the numbers as we skip counted by 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s. (2 thru 20, 3 thru 30, 4 thru 40 and...

ED is just beginning to work on multiplication. She has been practicing skip counting all year, but is only now starting to work on multiplication itself. I made this bug-themed packet for her for math this week. There are 3 skip counting pages and 5 pages of multiplication practice (using skip counting). She really liked the bug theme… and that’s perfect as we move into summer, right?! These are currently...

In this packet there are 9 mazes for practicing skip counting by...
Do you believe education can be exciting, inspiring, and full of joy? We do too!
I love the quote by William Butler Yeats, "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." It's about getting the kids involved, engaged, and fired up about learning (while juggling the rest of life too!)
A bit about me: I have my Master's from Brown University. I have more than 20 years of teaching experience. I was a high school teacher for many years both in the U.S. and internationally and also taught for the University of Maryland before leaving to homeschool my 3 wonderful kids.
