Multiplication Monster Freebie

Our first day of school was last Wednesday, so because we had such a short week, I figured reviewing a concept we'd learned before break would be a better than launching into something brand new. Since we had just finished our unit on multiplication, I came up with this multiplication monster activity that not only served as a way to review multiplication facts, but also gave my students a chance to be creative!




My kids had a ton of fun getting to make their monsters! When I hung them up in the hall, I stapled the recording sheet underneath the monster so that people could see how the kids figured out the number of body parts their monster would have. Click the picture below to get a copy of the multiplication monster recording sheet! If you use it and like it, please let me know! (And a BIG thanks to Denise at Yearn 4 Learning for telling me how to link a picture to my Google Docs page - you are awesome!!)
