There are many ways for students to practice their
multiplication facts:
·
Good old Flash cards are often the best! (See
below for a link to print out some or there are usually some at the Dollar
Stores around)
·
counting by number patterns or multiples (2, 4,
6, 8, 10, etc…) This is also called skip counting.
·
adding on to already known answers
(example: I know that 5 x 6 = 30 so one more set of 6 would be 6 x 6 =
36)
·
using related facts ( I know that 4 x 6 = 24 so
that means that 6 x 4 also equals 24)
·
repeated addition (2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8 which
means that 4 groups of 2 = 8)
·
visualize an array (rows times columns)
·
partial products
·
use practice drill sheets at home with your
child writing the answer
·
computer programs or websites such as any fast
fact practice game. Try Xtramath.org
·
Start with x0, then x1, then x2, x4 (doubles of
x2), then x5 (easy), x10, then back to x3, x6 (double of x3), x7, x8, and
finally x9. Chunk the practice a little at a time so your child will feel
confident!
