Knowing multiplication facts is one of the MOST IMPORTANT math skills your child will learn in elementary school.
Kids should ideally master all their times tables by fourth grade, before they tackle higher level math skills (division, fractions, etc).
A lot of kids feel frustrated and overwhelmed as they struggle with multiplication facts. (There are a total of 144 separate facts!) To an 8-year-old, it can feel impossible.
But with the right strategy, kid-friendly practice, and a range of activities to reach your child's learning style, learning multiplication facts becomes simple...and fun!
Context that makes sense: Understand multiplication in meaningful ways, so right off the bat she knows what multiplication is for.
Patterns and connections: See the big picture, and visualize how different fact patterns fit together. (She'll use this later to solve harder problems.)
Speedy Solver tricks: Learn how to solve multiplication facts quickly without counting on fingers--even if you haven't memorized them all yet.
Fun games: Laser focused on that exact multiplication fact, these games work way better than flash cards to build skills with multiplication facts.
Playful practice: A variety of kid-friendly puzzles, games, and crafts to practice those skills over and over until they become automatic.
Show What You Know: Math practice pages and blank multiplication chart let kids show what they've learned--and celebrate!

The Multiplication Facts Bundle includes the following printable activity packs.
Even if your child has already learned some of the easier facts, it's a good idea to go through all of the modules as review to make sure she has a solid foundation before moving onto the harder facts.
Easier facts, such as x1, x2 and x10, are often used as benchmarks to solve the harder facts. The activities and skills build on each other, so I recommend working through them in this order:
This concise and colorful little bundle makes multiplication so easy to understand, and grasp at its core. Even my 5 year old, who isn't necessarily some magical math whiz, started the pages with his older sister and it made total sense to him. I've seen tons of other math curriculums fumble their way through introducing multiplication and this is just so much smoother. I'm glad I got these pages for my daughter's summer enrichment because I think when he class starts learning it officially this fall it will make so much more sense, and she'll be ready for the rote-memory element. Definitely recommend as a review or add on supplement :)

I love that the lessons don't assume the child knows the fundamentals and go step by step in words and pictures!

Not challenging enough
Personally, it was not as challenging as I thought it would be for 3rd grade. I wish there was a better preview of the forms. I paid for it hoping it would be great, unfortunately, I did not think it was.
Oh no! I'm so sorry this wasn't up to your expectations. I take feedback very seriously and will be incorporating your suggestions into future versions of this product.

Amazing Program
When nothing else has worked... Try this! It's amazing. Open and go, fun, engaging and written so students with learning differences can excel with it too.
I absolutely love this program, after years of trying other things! I hope a full curriculum is next!!

Magic Resource
I got this book for my advanced 5 year old because he wanted the challenge of learning something new this summer, but I didn't want to push him into harder math that requires too much handwriting. This was honestly perfect! It was colorful and engaging, and so easy to understand. In fact, I sent the link over to our school's teacher as a possible resource for their whole class because it is so much easier to understand than their curriculum (as evidenced by my 5th grader still struggling with time). Within 3 days my son finished the first half and can tell time by hours. He usually gives up quickly and feels overwhelmed, but the use of white space and small chunks at a time were beyond perfect for him and he wanted to do extra. We'll work on the minutes next, and I think I'll have my 5th grader join us!

Buy this!
This product is an incredible value for the price. I know that the skill of "making ten" is super important and foundational, so it's great to have more fun ways to practice that my kids enjoy.
