Multiplication Intervention Task Cards | Multiplication Conceptual Understanding

Students often struggle with multiplication fact fluency and automaticity because they lack a conceptual understanding of multiplication. This simple-to-prep and use multiplication intervention resource includes over 300 multiplication task cards to help you build conceptual understanding of multiplication with your students.

I created these conceptual multiplication task cards to be an extension of my multiplication intervention mini-lessons. For example, I will teach a small group lesson on representing multiplication with arrays and then the students will complete the task cards with me, as a math center, with partners, or independently.

This resource includes multiplication task cards for:

• Arrays
• Equal Group Models
• Strip Diagrams
• Repeated Addition

More Details About the Multiplication Intervention Task Cards

Here is a detailed list of the conceptual multiplication skills included. Each skill includes a task card set of 24 task cards:

• Writing the multiplication problem that matches the array and then solving.
• Using cubes or other small objects to create arrays, writing multiplication problem, and solving.
• Finishing array models to represent multiplication problems shown. Then solving the multiplication problems.
• Writing the multiplication problems that match the equal groups models and then solving the problems.
• Writing the multiplication problems that match the equal groups models and then solving the problems.
• Using cubes or other small objects to create equal group models, writing multiplication problems, and solving.
• Finishing equal groups models to represent the multiplication problems shown. Then solving the multiplication problems.
• Writing the multiplication problem that matches the strip diagram and then solving.
• Creating a strip diagram to model situations. Then writing multiplication problems and solving.
• Finishing strip diagram models to represent the multiplication problems shown. Then solving the multiplication problems.
• Writing repeated addition problems to match models. Optional version includes writing matching multiplication problems as well.
• Writing repeated addition problems and multiplication problems to match situations.
• Writing multiplication problems to match repeated addition problems.

This resource works well for students in grades 3-5 who have received initial instruction on multiplication but struggle to understand the skill conceptually.

Answer keys, direction pages, and recording sheets are included for each task card set.
