We have started learning our basic multiplication facts!!! The program I am utilizing is called "Times Tables the Fun Way!" This program teaches the students stories and songs to assist them in remembering some of the most commonly missed facts. Here are the facts and the stories we have learned thus far:
3 x 3 = 9 the three blind mice
3 x 4 = 12 and 4 x 3 = 12 the cheerleaders
8 x 8 = 64 the snowmen
7 x 7 = 49 the soldiers
4 x 4 = 16 the hang glider
6 x 4 = 24 and 4 x 6 = 24 the magic pond
8 x 7 = 56 and 7 x 8 = 56 the trampoline
6 x 6 = 36 the thirsty sixes
3 x 6 = 18 bigfoot
6 x 8 = 48 the birthday cake
3 x 7 = 21 butterfly tree
7 x 4 = 28 fireman
7 x 6 = 42 high jump
8 x 4 = 32 pigs
Your child should be able to retell these stories. We have also learned the zeros, ones, twos, fives, and nines. Your child should be familiar with the commutative property, identity property (when you multiply by 1, the answer is always the other number), and the zero property. They should also know the terms factor and product.
