Notebooking "mini-offices" - Multiplication pages

It's only recently that I learned about the concept of "mini-offices" for students. Basically, they are very similar to lapbooks, but are filled with reference materials that students will need for various subjects. For young readers and spellers, for instance, you may have a folder filled with sections about letter sounds, consonant blends, special sounds, spelling rules and more. A chemisty mini-office might be filled with the periodic table, the states of matter, basic elemental combinations and so on. These are intended for the student to use as needed for quick reference while working independently. You can find some examples of mini-offices here and here.

I think it's a marvelous idea! Since this is a notebooking site, however, I decided to create some pages that can go in a notebook to go along with your child's work. I'll create some that are already filled out, and others that need to be filled in by the student before inclusion in the notebook. The latter idea is best for most students, as it helps cement the knowledge in their minds, but you may choose totally pre-printed pages for your own reasons.

Without further ado, here are my first "mini-office" notebooking pages. I hope you enjoy them!


**Multiplication Table - filled table with some basic multiplication rules printed on the page**

**Multiplication Table - filled table with lines at the bottom of the page to be filled with your own notes**

**Multiplication Table - blank table to be filled in by the student, with blank lines at the bottom of the page**
