Vertical 14 Clouds

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a conceptual exercise on the 14 times table, but instead of presenting full problems, it shows multiplication equations with the second factor as a single digit, leaving the students to infer that the first factor is 14. Each equation is placed inside a cloud graphic with a trailing plane, suggesting that the answer should ‘take off’ from the given number. There are no answer choices provided, indicating that the students may need to write in the correct answer themselves. The playful design aims to engage students with the concept of multiplication in a visual and imaginative manner.

The worksheet is intended to reinforce the multiplication facts related to the number 14 by having students complete the multiplication equations. It encourages students to understand and recall the products of 14 multiplied by numbers 3 to 8. This activity also serves to boost cognitive recall of multiplication facts, as the visual element of the clouds may help in associating the numbers with the answers. Additionally, the worksheet could be prompting students to practice mental math, as they must calculate the products without provided answer choices.
