As a part of standardized testing, an accommodation that your students might have is access to a reference sheet, which includes a blank 10x10 multiplication chart. In order for your students to be able to utilize this accommodation effectively in their testing, they should practice filling it out first! I recommend explicitly teaching them to fill in this order: 1s, 10s, 5s, 2s. From there, over 50% of the chart is completed, and they can use counting on or other strategies to fill in the res

When my students were learning the order of operations, they could remember "PEMDAS" or "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally," but were initially struggling with remembering what it actually meant... I realized they needed a visual that was small that they could have with them and bring home, instead of only having a poster on a wall that they had to keep looking at.
