3
- Cut the house out.
4
- Cut from the bottom of the house along a line that connects the right-hand side of the windows in that row.
- Stop at the top window.
- Cut the top and bottom of each window so they all open like flaps.
5
- Make sure all the windows will open like a flap.
6
- Use Crayola Washable Glue to glue the house to the Bristol board.
- Make sure there is lots of glue around the edges of each window.
- Do NOT put glue on the flaps so the windows will open properly.

- Number the windows from 1-10.
- Write the multiplication number on the door.
- Write the answer to each multiplication fact inside the window, e.g.,
- The number on the door of this house is 4.
- It is the house of number 4 multiplication facts
- 4 x 5 = 20 so write 20 inside the number 5 window. - Use your number house to practice your multiplication facts.
