50 Fun Hands-On Activities and Games To Teach Multiplication

Making it fun makes it stick!

Examples of multiplication activities like LEGO football game and triangle fact families worksheet.

Multiplication is a basic skill students need to master before they can move on to more advanced math. Memorizing multiplication tables is one option, but it’s important for kids to understand exactly what it means to multiply. This list of fun and engaging ways to teach multiplication has so many options. You’re sure to find a way to resonate with every one of your students!

1. Play a game of Scoot

This is a fun way to break up the routine of worksheets. One at a time, you will post one of the multiplication task cards and your students will work to find the answer. After a set amount of time (up to you), say “Scoot.” Students will leave their answer sheet on their desk and move one seat to their left. Post another task card. Again, say “Scoot” and have students rotate.

2. Practice skip-counting with a song

For many of us, setting information to music helps us memorize it. This series of videos from HeavenSentHorse features common tunes that your students will quickly catch on to like Jingle Bells, This Old Man and more.

Single dominoes turned sideways become multiplication number sentences! Grab a handful and have kids write out the sentences and their answers.

40. Roll to win

Multiplication Dice Game with dice and free printable

This works a bit like Yahtzee. Roll a die, then choose a number from 1 to 6 to multiply it by. Each number can only be used once, so choose carefully to rack up the most points. If you have polyhedral dice, you can play with higher numbers too.

41. Sculpt play dough arrays

Colorful balls of play dough laid out in arrays above multiplication problems

What kid doesn’t love the chance to play with play dough? Use this activity for math centers, and kids will really enjoy practicing their multiplication facts.

42. Connect the dots with Multiplication Squares

A colorful printout of a multiplication squares game  used to teach multiplication

This is a math spin on the old Dots and Boxes game. Kids roll two dice and multiply the numbers together. Then they find the answer on the board and connect two dots next to it. The goal is to complete a box, coloring it in with your own color marker. When the board is full, count the squares to see who wins.

43. Cut out and assemble array cities

A colorful poster of a city made from individual buildings made from arrays

Here’s another colorful math craft: multiplication array cities. Most high-rises have their windows arranged to make perfect arrays. Have kids make their own city skylines with buildings showing various multiplication arrays.

44. Stack math power towers

Three Pringles cans covered with a label that says Math Power Towers behind a stack of plastic cups with multiplication problems on them

There’s a universal appeal about making stacks of cups, so don’t be surprised if kids clamor to play this game over and over again. Pull a cup, answer correctly, and stack. See who can get a stack of 10 first, or who can build the highest tower in 2 minutes, and so on.

45. Change your students’ names (temporarily)

A

Grab some name tags and write multiplication equations on each. Give a tag to each of your students. For the remainder of the day, everyone will refer to each other by the answer to the equation on their tag (e.g., the student with the name tag that says 7 x 6 would be referred to as “42”).

46. Take multiplication to the gridiron

A pair of leg goal posts, a lego football and a pair of dice on top of a worksheet

All you need is poster board, 12-sided dice, and a couple of game pieces to teach multiplication using football. Students move their game piece up the field by rolling the dice and multiplying the two numbers that face up. They get four chances to score a touchdown.

47. Roll and Bump!

A colorful math worksheet with bright circles with numbers inside

Print the free game boards , each with a multiplier in the heading. Roll two dice, add them together, then multiply by the multiplier. Then place your game piece over that answer. If another player also comes up with the same product, they can “bump” your game piece off and replace it with their own. The player with the most markers on the board at the end of the game wins.

48. Weave multiplication patterns

Embroidery hoops with yarn woven into patterns inside of them

Skip-counting provides an introduction to multiplication. We love this hands-on activity where kids skip-count and weave yarn into pretty patterns.

49. Challenge kids with Multiplication Jenga

A jumble of Jenga wooden blocks with multiplication facts written on them used to teach multiplication

Grab an old Jenga game at the thrift store (or pick up the generic version at the dollar store). Write multiplication problems on each block, then stack ’em up. Player one pulls a block and tries to answer the problem. If they get it right, they keep the block. If they miss, their partner gets a chance. But if no one can answer it, the block gets stacked up on top. Keep playing until the tower collapses!

50. Twist and learn

Kids playing Twister on a Twister mat with numbers written on each dot

Your students will love this twisted version of an old favorite! The original Math Twister was designed for addition, but it works for multiplication too. Simply write products on sticky notes and add them to circles. Then call out math problems like “Left foot, 4 x 5!” The player must put their left foot on the number 20—if they can!

times table activities year 4

What is the Year 4 multiplication tables check?

The new Year 4 multiplication tables check is a requirement for all schools and will take place from June every year. To support you and your child, we’ve gathered together everything you might want to know about the times tables check, including what it involves, when it will take place, and how you can help your child prepare.

What is the check?

First and foremost, the check is about finding out which children are struggling with their times tables so that they can get extra support. It is not a judgement on what your child can do. The multiplication tables check is an online test for pupils in Year 4. Pupils are asked to answer 25 questions on times tables from two to 12 . They are given six seconds per question , with three seconds rest between each question, so the test should last less than five minutes.

How can I help my child prepare?

The best way to keep the test stress-free is to work some times tables practice into your daily routine well in advance. With regular practice, your child will get used to tackling these kinds of questions with confidence.

1. Use times table wall charts

Wall charts show all the answers for a particular times table. You could download our free times table wall charts [PDF] and stick them up somewhere they’ll be seen often. For instance, you could put them over the sink so that your child will see them when they’re brushing their teeth. You’ll be amazed how quickly they learn when they see these number facts every day!

2. Learn the tricks for difficult times tables

Video: seven times table trick.

Use this fun times table game from mathemagician Andrew Jeffrey to help your child learn the seven times table.

For more ideas, download our free times tables booklet [PDF] , which is bursting with tips and hints for overcoming some of the harder times tables.

3. Play times tables games

Games and challenges are a great way to support learning, and a few minutes a day will make all the difference. Why not play snap with some times tables flashcards , matching the sums to the answers as fast as you can?  Using games keeps practice short and sweet, and makes the process much less of a chore for you and your child.

You can find a collection of times tables games and activity sheets on our Help with times tables page .

4. Make it real

If your child can’t see any point in learning their times tables, try showing them how this knowledge is useful in everyday life. Instead of just rote learning their times tables, try to create opportunities for your child to use multiplication in problem solving.

For example, ask them to scale up a recipe or calculate whether they have enough money to buy more of their favourite things (such as sweets or football cards). This will help your child see the value of their learning.

5. Practise on the computer

Times Tables Learning

Once you have understood what multiplication is, you are then ready to start learning your tables.

One of the best ways to learn their tables is to follow these simple steps:

  • First, write down the times table you want to learn. This is useful to see what the times table looks like. Study it and use your noticing skills, look for patterns...visual learning.
  • Next, read it aloud - sing or chant the table. This is the auditory learning - not only have you spoken the table but you have also heard it.
  • Repeat, repeat and repeat some more - repetition is the key to learning tables (or other facts). The more you say the table aloud, the more you will learn it like you learn word to a song.
  • Next, see how good your recall is by trying a practice sheet, or getting someone to test you. You should aim to be able to answer a times table question almost instantly - certainly within about 5 seconds!
  • If your recall of the table is up to scratch, then move on to your next table - but keep practicing regularly to keep it in your mind! Otherwise your brain will quickly forget it.
  • Need more practice? Go back and repeat some of the previous steps.

Once you are confident in a range of tables, try doing some tables challenges... there are plenty for you to try at the Math Salamanders!

Hopefully before long, your times table knowledge will be secure in your head and you will have it at your fingertips to use when you need it!

From the 2019/2020 academic year, all children in Year 4 in English state schools (aged 8-9) will sit the new Multiplication Tables Check (MTC).

The test will be taken in June each year.

Children will take the times tables test on a computer or tablet.

The Department for Education published their MTC framework and this site follows their formulas to create practice tests.

The questions are delivered at the same pace as the official MTC.

How to Practise for the Y4 Multiplication Tables Check (MTC)

The best way to practise for a standardised test is to take 'practice tests' that mimic the real thing as closely as possible.

Practise until you're un-phased by the format and can do yourself justice.

The tests on this page are ideal for practice.

BUT if you don't already know your times tables pretty well these practice tests won't help you to learn them.

They will, however, show you which multiplication tables you're shakey on, so that you can practise them separately .

How to Learn your Times Tables (Multiplication Facts)

Before you start practicing for your MTC, it's a good idea to learn your times tables... properly!

There's only one way to learn times tables, and that's by repetition - i.e. practicing!

If you don't use your times tables every day for the maths you're learning in school, you'll need to repeatedly recall your multiplication facts daily or weekly from now until you take the test.

There are many ways to go about learning your times tables, for example using flash cards, youtube songs, multiplication games, or my out-and-out favourite method:

Singing each times table with the absolute minimum of faff .

Using the catchy chants from Talking Times Tables you can recite each times table in less than 15 seconds.

It's fast, it's efficient, and it gets practice over with very quickly so that you can get on with your day!

You can try it for yourself here .

How the MTC Questions are Chosen: The MTC Framework

Each test will have:

  • A total of 25 questions.
  • No reversals (e.g if 4x3 is on the test, then 3x4 will not be).
  • No questions from the 1 times table (e.g. not 1x7 or 7x1).
  • Up to 2 questions from each of the 2 and 10 times tables.
  • Between 1 and 3 questions from each of the 3, 4, 5 and 11 times tables.
  • Between 2 and 4 questions from each of the 6, 7, 8, 9 and 12 times tables.

Children will have:

  • 6 seconds to answer each question.
  • 3 seconds between each question.

Please note: The MTC Framework considers the first number in the sum to be the times table, and the second number to be the multiple.

i.e. <times table> x <multiple>

So 7x4 comes from the 7 times table (not the 4 times table).

If you recite times tables, you might think of it the other way around: 1x7=7,  2x7=14 etc

The numbers of questions listed above refer to how many times a number can appear as the first number in the sum.

(e.g. "Between 2 and 4 questions from the 7 times table" means there should be between 2 and 4 questions that begin 7x...)

There are more rules, relating to how many KS1 (2, 5 and 10 times tables) level questions can be included overall, and how many times each multiple (the second number) can appear. The practice tests on this site follow all of the rules. You can read the published framework here: Department for Education: Multiplication tables check assessment framework .

What is the Multiplication Tables Check

The Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) is a key stage 2 assessment to be taken by pupils at the end of year 4 (in June). The MTC’s purpose is to ensure the times tables knowledge is at the expected level. In the 2022/2023 academic year, the multiplication tables check (MTC) is statutory for primary schools.

The Multiplication Times Tables Check is an online test where the pupils are asked 25 questions on times tables 2 to 12. For every question, you have 6 seconds to answer, and in between the questions, there is a 3-second rest. Questions about the 6, 7, 8, 9, and 12 times table come up more often. The questions are generated randomly based on the rules of the MTC.

How to prepare

A good way to prepare is to start early and build a daily routine practising the times tables. With regular practise you will learn all the questions and gain confidence. We suggest practising 10 to 15 minutes a day for optimal results.

A good start is first to make the five step plans for all the times tables to ensure you made all the questions and have good basic knowledge of the times tables. Then you make the MTC test sample on this page and see how you are doing and where to focus on. When you like to improve your speed or focus on a few times tables, you can use the speed test, diplomas, worksheets or play games like Blocky Multiplication and My Smart Horse to practise.

The year 4 Multiplication Tables Check trial run on this page will help one become more comfortable reading and answering on a screen. The Multiplication Tables Check trial results can be downloaded and printed at the end of the test.

Free 4 times table worksheets

If you wish to practice the 4 times table or are looking for repeat exercises, you've come to the right place. The free 4 times table worksheets here provide you with quality lesson material. You can use these for either practising at home or at school.

Unfortunately, the 4 times table doesn't really have any useful mnemonics. However, what will make practising the 4 times table easier is the fact that students will often start practising it after the 1, 2, 3 and 10 tables. If this is the case, you'll likely already be familiar with half of the 4 times table. For instance, 1 x 4 = 4, 2 x 4 = 8, 3 x 4 = 12, 5 x 4 = 20 and 10 x 4 = 40. This is an excellent way to get started. Using the exercises on the worksheets, the missing calculations can quickly be learned.

The times tables are the basis of more elaborate calculations and one's general maths comprehension. The exercises provided here are suited for maths education taught in primary school. These 4 multiplication table worksheets for printing or downloading (in PDF format) are specially aimed at primary school students. You can also make a multiplication worksheet yourself using the worksheet generator. These multiplication table worksheets for grade 2 in pdf are randomly generated and therefore provide endless amounts of exercise material for at home or in class.
