This Christmas stocking worksheet helps students practice multiplication facts from 0 to 9 in a festive way. Students solve each multiplication problem and write the answer on each stocking, reinforcing their fluency with basic multiplication facts.

ELD Supports

Provide sentence frames for ELD students to help verbalize their thinking. For example:

• “I solved this problem by ___. First, I ___. Then, I ___. Finally, I ___.”
• “I used a strategy called ___ to find the answer to ___ × ___.”
• “I can check my answer by ___. It shows that ___ × ___ is correct.”

Here are some UDL supports:

Multiple Means of Representation

• Visual Aids:
  • Provide a multiplication chart or number line as a reference for students to check their answers.
  • Use arrays or group drawings to show what multiplication represents (e.g., 3 × 4 as three rows of four dots).
• Manipulatives:
  • Give students counters or small objects to create groups physically. For example, for 3 × 5, they can make three groups of five.
• Step-by-Step Examples:
  • Provide color-coded examples of completed stockings. Highlight the numbers in different colors to help students visualize the multiplication process.

Multiple Means of Engagement

• Interactive Movement:
  • Create a “stocking hunt” where students solve a problem and then find the correct stocking answer hidden around the room.
  • Use physical manipulatives like beads or small holiday-themed objects for students to group and count.
• Group or Partner Work:
  • Pair students to solve the problems together. They can explain their steps to each other and check answers collaboratively.
  • Turn it into a “Multiplication Relay”: Each student solves a problem and passes the worksheet to a partner to check or solve the next one.
• Gamification:
  • Use a multiplication bingo format, where students fill in stockings and get points for correct answers.
  • Create a matching game: Match stockings with problems to stockings with answers.
