Give a student a multiplication by eight problem (verbally, flashcard, worksheet, etc.). Example: 8 x 6 The student will begin on 0. They will jump forward 6 times, only landing on the multiples of 8. When they land on the sixth number, 48, they will say, “8 x 6 = 48.” You can also have […]
Give a student a division by eight problem (verbally, flashcard, worksheet, etc.). Example: 24 ÷ 8 The student will begin on the first number of the problem, 24. Then, they will jump back to zero on the multiples of 8. How many hops did it take to get back to zero? 3!
For enjoyable math practice, clip a multiplication and/or division by 8s worksheet on a clipboard. Have your students figure out the answers to the math problems by using the mat.
Divide your class into teams (the number of teams and the number of students on each team will depend on how many students you have). Place a bucket/basket at the end of the floor mat after 80. Have one team line up in a single file line behind zero. The other team will wait off […]
Give students a dividend that will have a remainder when divided by eight. Have them find and stand on the dividend on the mat. Have them jump and count the number of spaces it takes to reach the next lowest multiple of eight. The number of spaces is the remainder number. Have them hold it […]
Requires two different skip counting mats.Line up two skip counting mats. Tell students you will be comparing these two factors and finding least common multiples. Have one student on each mat. Instruct one student to hop on the multiples going up their mat, shouting out the multiples as they hop. Then, have the second student […]
Have a student start on zero. Then, have them point out the pattern that the green boxes with the feet follow. Explain to them that these boxes are showing the multiples of seven. Whisper Loud: To begin learning multiples of seven, start with the whisper loud technique to have students jump down the mat. Have […]
Give a student a multiplication by seven problem (verbally, flashcard, worksheet, etc.). Example: 7 x 6 The student will begin on 0. They will jump forward 6 times, only landing on the multiples of 7. When they land on the sixth number, 42, they will say, “7 x 6 = 42.” You can also have […]
Give a student a division by seven problem (verbally, flashcard, worksheet, etc.). Example: 21 ÷ 7 The student will begin on the first number of the problem, 21. Then, they will jump back to zero on the multiples of 7. How many hops did it take to get back to zero? 3!
