Hi Everyone,

My third grade class is having difficulty with multiplication. Does anyone have a chant or rap for the 7's, 6's, or 8's?

7x7
Two football teams, we watch the 49’s on TV.
7x7 = 49
7x7 is 49, you are cool, you are fine!

Act out the sevens. Count by seven…. Only say the fact the first time so students understand what it means to count by seven.
And touch top of your head and say 7……………7x1=7
Touch neck and say 14…………………………… 7x2=14
Touch left shoulder with right hand 14…………….7x3=21
Touch right shoulder with left hand 21…………….7x4=28
Put fist in stomach and say 35……………………...7x5=35
Touch left hip with right hand and say 42………….7x6=42
Touch right hip with left hand and say 49………….7x7=49
Touch knees and say 56…………………………7x8=56
Touch ankle and say 63…………………………7x9=63
Touch the floor and say 70………………………….7x10=70
*****shoulders are the 20s
hips are the 40s

I have more send me an e mail that I can attach to and I will share more.

I Have a program that I use in my classroom called RHYMES AND TIMES. It' s GREAT!!!!The student learn ryhmes to go along with some of the math facts.
ex. zero is always the hero
three times four twelve knocks on the door
6 times 7 rings are new shiney and bright all 42

There is a website that you could look for more information about this program. Hope this helps.

Thanks for all the help!

I read your post and would love more of your chants if you are willing to share them.

I use Intellitunes by MARC Brown - It covers #'s 1-12 and each song has a part where the kids sing back the answer to each problems - It is wonderful. My 1st grade son knows all of his facts from hearing the songs over and over. I make copies of the lyrics for the students to keep in their desks.

I love this, please send me more!

[Counselor KC]

Thanks for the great Multiplication learning chants/songs/raps! I would love to see more. Here's my email address: kwright1#harnett.k12.nc.us

We're going to start a "Drop Everything and Multiply" time each day at school to help our students memorize their times tables and the songs/chants and, or raps you have sound like an excellent way to get the students into this project.

Thanks in advance for your help!
