Product Description:

Is rote memorization of math facts not working for you? Then take a look at this book. Its whole goal is familiarization with math facts. That's a different idea, isn't it? Based on four educational strategies manageable amounts at a time, connecting facts to other facts and to patterns, exploring factor pairs, and readiness for higher level concepts these very creative worksheets are filled with interesting activities. Students progress through "easy multiples (10, 2, 9, and 5) and move onto square numbers (9, 16, 25, 49, and 64) and lastly consider factors of 18, 24, 28, 32, 42 and 48. The last section is a multiplication fact review designed to prepare the student for work with fractions, factors/multiples, and equivalent fractions. Instead of page after page of math facts to be worked with increasing speed, these worksheets seek to employ the brain, to get the student thinking about the numbers and the relationships between them. 108 pgs, pb. ~ Janice

I used it before with my oldest--it was the BEST book we have found for learning multiplication and division facts. I am now purchasing it for my two younger children.

Such a great thing to teach factors!!!!! It is so important, in upper level math, to not have to worry about thinking of some factors, you need to know them, thoroughly.

A brilliant book
The approach to teaching multiplication in this book is very different to anything I have seen in any other math program. It is brilliant! Easily done exercises that build up a deep understanding and long term retention of multiplication facts. It requires no input from the parent/teacher, just open and go. It is very affordable, needs no manipulatives, and is super fun. My kiddo is learning effortlessly from the book. I highly recommend this book for a painless education in multiplication.

Number Sense!
This is not just a rote review book. You have to think of the multiples and factors of the different numbers. It uses patterns of different facts to provide lots of different experiences.
