Interactive Multiplication Wheels!!

Cut out an 8 inch circle. In the middle draw a smaller circle and put your multiplier number in it. Then draw 12 straight lines out from the smaller circle edge (in middle) to the outside line (following my example). Label each section with x1 all the way till x12. Next cut the lines into the middle stopping at the inner circle line. Then glue on the back only in the small circle in the center. After it is dry, flip each flap back and write the product under each one. When that is finished, on the facing page, draw that number big (the 4 on left side of my notebook) and write the multiples of that number. Example: for the 2, you'd draw a BIG bubble lettering of a 2 and write on it: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24. Tah-dah!! You just created your own interactive multiplication wheel!! I made wheels for the 2's through the 9's. Have FUN!!
