Teacher Page

This WebQuest was designed to give students a different way to practice their basic multiplication and division facts.  They have been learning the basic concepts of multiplication and division in many different formats and have used music, books, videos, hopscotch, manipulative pieces, candy, cookies, arrays, number lines, and many other methods to learn.  This was created to let them have a bit of fun and discover games available on the computer while getting some drill and practice.  It is a great way for children to learn especially because they use the computer so much!

This was not created with or as a summative assessment, but another piece and method of learning multiplication and division skills.  You may add whatever evaluation you find appropriate for your class.
