Learn How You Can Use Strategy Instruction To Really Build Multiplication Fact Fluency!
Are you tired of...
Students struggling to memorize multiplication facts–when they really don’t even understand what multiplication IS?
Having to hunt for organized multiplication fact activities that are engaging, low-prep, and actually work?
Not knowing where to focus your energy (and your students’ energy!) because you aren’t sure what they know and what they don’t know?
Does this sound familiar?
* Your students don’t have their multiplication facts memorized–and they don’t even seem to really understand the concept of multiplication.
* Not only that, but your curriculum is PACKED, so you aren’t sure how you will ever find the time to work in these critical multiplication activities.
* You KNOW that having fact fluency makes upcoming skills so much easier, but you know rote memorization is not the solution.
* Your curriculum and math program simply do not give you enough support when it comes to teaching and reinforcing multiplication fact fluency.
What if I told you there was a solution?
I totally get it. I've been there. TRUST me.
It’s funny. I’ve been teaching a really long time–more than thirty years in grades 2, 3, 4, and 6. During that period of time, I’ve NEVER had a class where I thought, “Man, ALL of these students already know their facts. What will I do now?”
Fact fluency has always been a topic of debate. I’ll be honest–I’ve even wrestled with it myself. SHOULD students have to learn their facts? How fast should they be? I think we can all agree–when they know them well, the rest of their math “lives” are so much better.
The question is really HOW should they learn these facts. I have the answer–and it’s all based on multiplication strategies. Read on and see what I mean!
Imagine that you could have a plan to improve your students' multiplication fact fluency--and it would be all organized for you so there is no stress and no guesswork.
(and what if I told you your students would love it?)

“Fantastic. Holds the interest of my stronger students while also meeting the needs of those who are working at a lower level and really needed a quality resource to develop a better understanding of the content.”

“I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am to use this resource next year! It is chock-full of visual, meaningful activities that I know will truly help my students understand and retain these facts. Thank you for creating such an informative, engaging resource for upper-elementary students who still need support in this area.”
