Multiplication Strategy Exit Tickets

This set of 12 exit tickets is designed to consolidate student understanding of key multiplication strategies from the Build It Better unit. Each ticket targets a specific strategy (4×–9×) and encourages students to explain their thinking, visualise their process, or reflect on what helped them learn.

Question types include:

  • Strategy explanation
  • Peer-teaching scenarios
  • Visual justification
  • Personal reflection on what was easiest or hardest


Ideal for quick check-ins, formative assessment, lesson wrap-ups, or maths journals.

Learning goals

  • We are learning to solve multiplication problems using mental and written strategies and calculators to check our answers.
  • We are learning to describe, continue and create number patterns and use addition and subtraction to identify the rule.
  • We are learning to recall multiplication facts up to 10 × 10 and related division facts.
  • We are learning to use a range of strategies to solve multiplication and division where there is no remainder.
  • We are learning to solve word problems by using number sentences involving multiplication or division where there is no remainder.
  • We are learning to use estimation and rounding to check the reasonableness of answers to calculations.
  • We are learning to solve problems involving modelling addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, using different strategies.
  • We are learning to follow and create number sentences to investigate number patterns and rules and to find emerging patterns.
  • We are learning to use a range of strategies to solve addition, subtraction, multiplication and division where there is no remainder.
  • We are learning to use estimation and rounding to check and explain calculations including transactions involving money.
  • We are learning to recall multiplication facts up to 10 x 10 and related division facts, developing efficient mental strategies.
