Dominos:
Intro:
Begin with a review of simple multiplication and
addition facts. Using set of classroom popsicle sticks,
go around the room and randomly choose students to
give different multiplication facts. ( 1-2 minutes)
Introduce what we will be doing today: Addition and
Mulitplication Dominos.
Explain what the activity will be. General Idea is each
student will try to complete as many addition or
multiplication dominos as the can in the allowed time
frame. (1-2) minutes

is to be completed individually but students can work
collaboratively with peers around you. (7-9 minutes)
