Pronghorn Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I am looking for a teaching tool for multiplication facts for an eleven-year-old with delayed math skills. My own child learned the multiplication facts around that age from Times Tales, back when Times Tales relied on a chart. Now they have a hokey video instead which seemed extremely babyish to my student and provoked a huge negative reaction. So, I need to find something else. My student is very very very visual, so I am thinking some picture-based system. So far I see Right Brain Multiplication and Division and Times Tables The Fun Way. Has anyone used these? How did they work? Or is there a better option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pronghorn Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 I'd also probably buy the old Times Tales flip chart if anyone has one to sell! I loaned my to someone, can't remember who! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElizabethB Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 60 second sweep. Print 2 copies, on one write out answers (6X7 below 42, 2X6 and 3x4 below 12, etc.) Anything not answered within 2 seconds (1 second eventually), flip to other sheet and answer, go back to sheet without answers. https://www.wccusd.net/cms/lib/CA01001466/Centricity/Domain/60/60 Second Sweep.pdf You can also eventually do it online, but you get cut off at 60 seconds, so it's not helpful until you're close to mastering everything already. One a line is all within 1 second, start practice at next line for a few days, then go back and review all. https://60ss.firebaseapp.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbutton Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Factoring with cuisinaire rods? They might seem babyish too, but factoring is not babyish for a kid that age. Education Unboxed would have some factoring activities with rods. Rods are great for visualization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Could you have the student make their own chart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
