As an elementary math teacher, multiplication facts have always been a source of concern. A deep understanding of multiplication is essential for students, but there is also a need for memorization of multiplication facts.

Many existing online programs create unnecessary stress for students. Several children, especially the ones who struggle with memorization and/or anxiety, appear to become frustrated by the timed aspect of the quizzes.

Some of these programs do not provide the support needed for struggling students, even with ample practice time in class. While all students can certainly learn and improve, some students may need alternative strategies and approaches, rather than solely focusing on memorization.

This digital multiplication program provides an alternative solution. It can be used along with any of your favorite existing resources or math curriculum. How you implement this program will depend on your students and their needs.

This program is broken into 5 parts. Each day of the week students will complete a different task based on the math facts they are currently practicing.

This free resource includes a link to the digital program for the 2 facts. The complete program can be accessed here.
