It's the most expensive time for a teacher so do yourself a favor and grab this free back-to-school math activity for multiplication!
This school bus color by number is just what you need for the first days of school multiplication fluency practice.

Isn't it cute! I tell you what this worksheet just gets me excited for back-to-school season!
Not only is it cute, but it also adds a little more rigor than just a normal multiplication equation.
Why do I ask students to find the product and then find it in a range of numbers?

I have students solve the multiplication fact sentence and THEN find that product in a range (download preview to view an example). Instead of just solving the same fact for one color over and over. For example; you won't see 7 x 4 and 4 x 7 for one color.
