Take 12s to School

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a combined exercise featuring two types of tasks related to the 12 times table. The first task is a number path puzzle where students must help a character, John, navigate from school to home by counting in multiples of 12. The path is laid out with numbers, and only the correct multiples of 12 will lead John home. The second part of the worksheet includes fill-in-the-blank multiplication problems that require students to identify the missing factor or product when multiplied by 12.

The worksheet’s first activity aims to teach students how to identify and follow a sequence of multiples, in this case, multiples of 12. This helps to develop their understanding of number patterns and strengthens their mental arithmetic with regard to the 12 times table. The fill-in-the-blank problems in the second activity further reinforce their multiplication skills by challenging them to recall and apply the 12 times table in order to find the missing numbers. Both exercises are designed to enhance the students’ quick recall and accuracy of multiplication facts, which are essential for their mathematical proficiency.
