Multiplication Magic

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a series of number sequences where each number is derived by applying a multiplication rule to the previous number. The first sequence is completed as an example, showing that each number is obtained by multiplying the previous number by two. Students are required to identify the multiplication rule for each sequence and use it to fill in the missing numbers. Each line presents a different set of numbers, offering a variety of patterns to discern and complete.

The “Multiplication Magic” worksheet is designed to teach students about multiplication patterns and the concept of scaling numbers by a constant factor. It encourages the practice of multiplication facts, as students must apply these to extend each pattern correctly. This exercise also develops number sense and reinforces the understanding of how multiplication can be used to create a series of numbers. Furthermore, by figuring out the rules and completing the sequences, students enhance their problem-solving skills and their ability to recognize mathematical patterns.
