1-digit multiplication task card freebie

I created this set of task cards to allow students of various learning levels to feel successful and challenged. Because the questions increase in difficulty, students who are struggling work on the lower-numbered cards, and students who need a challenge work on the higher-numbered cards.

This Thanksgiving craftivity is so simple and makes the perfect November bulletin board. You’re going to love how festive your classroom or hallway looks with these on display!🍂🦃

✏️ Students first list the factors of their number in the t-chart and then circle prime or composite. A level of difficulty chart is provided to help students choose their number. 

🖍️ Next, students label, color, and cut out their turkey.

✂️ Then, they label each feather with factors before coloring and cutting them out.

🦃 Finally, students assemble their turkey and display in the classroom or hallway.

This festive craftivity takes about 45–60 minutes to complete, depending on how much detail students add to their designs. So take a break from small groups or choice boards and plan a day for creating Factor Turkeys! 🦃
