_{Distribute one colored piece of construction paper 12.5 cm by 10 cm ( 5" x 4") and 12 white  strips 7.5 cm by 2.5 cm ( 3" x 1") to each student.}

_{Have them fold up the bottom edge of the larger piece about 2.5 cm ( 1 ") to form a pocket.
Then staple or tape the two open edges together.}

_{On the white strips, ask them to inscribe large numerals (0 to 9) with felt-tip pens, making duplicates of the 1 and the 2.}

_{When the game starts, children arrange the numerals in sequence on their desks.
Start the game by saying, "I'm thinking of another name for `7 x 4'."
On the signal, "Show me," students fit the answer into the pocket and hold up the card.
Facts from all basic operations can be used.}

_{This game causes no embarrassment for children who hesitate or hold up incorrect answers repeatedly.
Suggest that such children construct another set of cards for home practice.}

_{"Show Me" cards will promote fact mastery and also help you to instantly identify those children who need extra practice.}

_{Students can make their own and keep them in their math folders for easy access.}
