Multiplication Drill Facts: Tips, Tricks & Strategies

About this curriculum

Students find learning multiplication facts challenging so we developed this step-by-step approach to making things as easy as possible. We start with the easiest facts and build on prior knowledge to achieve the hardest facts to learn. The student-friendly worksheets are jam-packed with rhymes and other tricks and tips to help students remember what they've learned. Fun activities for visual and musical learners are included with drills for practice. This book is designed to be a complete overview of basic multiplication facts, from 0 x 0 through 12 x 12 and the beginnings of multi-digit multiplication. Students begin with skip counting; the patterns developed there are then revisited as repeated addition of numbers, which in turn leads to multiplication. Students practice each times table individually, with various different methods of visualizing the multiplication process – using counting, area calculations, and grids to demonstrate the facts. Tables are not presented in numerical order; those tables that are easiest for students to remember are provided first, so that confidence in their ability to complete the exercises is increased.…
