Multiplication Bee guides
Two free guides for schools: why a school builds a culture of math fluency, and how one person actually runs the event. Take either, or both.
Why Your School Should Have a Multiplication Bee
- Three ways to start — daily practice only, one classroom Bee, or a school-wide event
- What it actually takes: a Bee Coordinator, a device, and a little space
- Why one person can run the whole event, where a traditional format needs four
- The free tools included, and Gradebook reports aligned to Common Core 3.OA.C.7 and TEKS 3.4F
- Five routines that build fluency on the ordinary days between events
- Culture-building ideas that cost nothing — spirit days, recognition walls, Math Night
How to Run a Successful Multiplication Bee
- Setting up divisions, and the play-up-never-down fairness rule
- Planning your timing with the Event Time Planner, before you register anyone
- Choosing the deck, the tie policy, and the language
- How students register, and what they see at the Player Station
- Microphones — the one part worth getting right beforehand
- Running the rounds, projecting the leaderboard, and what to do when something goes wrong
