📚 Part 1: Quick Recall — Multiple Choice

Success criteria: I can quickly recall facts to 12×12 and explain one strategy I used.

Differentiation: Use flashcards or arrays if you need support; timed rounds or extra facts for fast finishers.

Extension: Create a short 6-question challenge for a partner using mixed 1–12 facts.

1. What is 7 × 8?

2. What is 12 × 9?

108

112

3. Which shows the commutative property?

4 × 11 = 11 × 4

6 × 5 = 60

3 × 7 = 21 + 3

4. Check all strategies that would help find 8 × 7 quickly:

Double 8 then double again and add 8

Use 10 × 7 and subtract 2 × 7

Multiply 7 by 12 and add 8

5. Calculate 12 × 7 using the distributive property. Show steps.

6. Find 9 × 6 by using 10 × 6 minus 1 × 6. Show your working.

7. Fill in the blank: 8 × ___ = 64. Explain how you knew the answer.

8. Draw an array for 9 × 8 and write the total. (Use the box to sketch.)

Self-check — tick the statements that describe you today:

I can recall most facts to 12×12 quickly.

I used at least two strategies (e.g. distributive, doubling, commutative).

I would like more practice with a partner or flashcards.
