Multiplication Wheel.
As a fun activity, students worked in pairs. First, they'd put a number between 0-12 in the
bull's eye. Second, they entered numbers between 0-12 into the second ring. Then, they
traded.
The other student would then multiply the inside number with each number in the center
ring. After a set amount of time, they traded back and we checked for correctness as a
class.
This was a good fun way to practice multiplication facts.
