Teaching the Times Tables

It's best to tackle the times tables in manageable increments. Before you move on to the next set of operands, however, it's important to make sure that your students know the current tables. With Math Quiz Creator, it's easy to control what times tables are included in your multiplication worksheet. The example below shows the settings for a worksheet that will include problems from the 4's, 5's, and 6's times tables, but that will only include problems from the lower portion of the table, for example 4 x 4, 5 x 3, etc. Math Quiz Creator remembers the settings you used for the last set of questions, so it's just a few mouse clicks to create a new worksheet that includes problems in the next section of the tables.

Reinforce Through Repetition

Repetition is a necessary evil when it comes to teaching the multiplication tables. Rather than generating dozens of multiplication worksheets in advance, with Math Quiz Creator you can generate a completely new multiplication worksheet with a single mouse click. The "Re-create Section" and "Re-create Quiz" buttons allow you to treat each quiz you create as a template for a series of new quizzes. This makes it easy to create a new times table drill each day, and it gives you the flexibility to target specific areas your students might be having trouble with.

More Advanced Multiplication Problems

For students who have already mastered the times tables, Math Quiz Creator can generate multiplication problems with operands having up to three digits each. Because you can control the size of each term individually, it's possible to introduce open-ended multiplication at a pace your students can follow. Start with an upper two-digit operand multiplied by a one-digit operand to introduce the algorithm for solving multiplication problems. Math Quiz Creator will randomly pick some operands that your students will recognized from their times table drills. This will give your students the opportunity to work through the multiplication algorithm when they already know the answer from their times tables.
