I Can Learn Multiplication Facts

Description

Sometimes a student will struggle with one concept that keeps them from moving forward with your math curriculum. Luckily, there are programs like this one to help you through it and carry on. Multiplication is presented both in book and video form and you are encouraged to use both formats together. The author, Lembit Ruutelmann, is a Golden Apple nominated math teacher. He presents multiplication in a way that is simple and logical. His materials are like this as well. The teacher is used to instruct and demonstrate, then the student practices in the student workbook. At the beginning of the program, the student takes a pre-test. Then they watch the video lesson on YouTube together and the student completes worksheet #1. After correcting this worksheet, you decide to go right to lesson 2 or finish the other worksheets in lesson 1. If your student is struggling with lesson 1, you can watch the video again, if needed, before completing worksheet #2. Each lesson topic should be mastered before moving forward. There are 8 lessons total. Previously available on DVD, the author has moved his video content to YouTube to access for free (just look for the Ruutelmann Math Tutoring channel).~ Sara
