Leap Frogs

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a themed multiplication activity that combines math practice with a playful visual story. The story element involves a leech that needs to find its way home, and the student’s task is to solve the math problems to help the leech along its path. The problems consist of the 15 times table, with multiplication facts from 15 times 1 up to 15 times 10. Each problem is placed on a lily pad, and the leech’s journey appears to start at the first problem and end at the last, creating a narrative for the mathematical exercise.

The worksheet aims to teach students the 15 times table through a sequence of multiplication problems. By solving each problem, students assist the leech in its journey, which adds an element of storytelling to engage the students. This approach can make the practice of multiplication more interesting and memorable. The exercise reinforces the students’ recall and computation of multiplication facts with 15, contributing to their overall arithmetic fluency.
