Visualizing Multiplication Facts✨ Lately, my daughter and I have dedicated time during her math lessons to visualize multiplication facts. She understands the multiplication concept (eg: “six times seven”, or “six, taken seven times”, equals 42), but it’s been very helpful for her to visually see these facts. On repeat. This is where our geoboard, Montessori bead bars, and Montessori Multiplication board come in handy! She and I used these tools together during her early multiplication studies and she still finds them useful now. Here’s a description of the materials she’s been using lately (slide 2): Montessori Bead Bars - Useful for teaching fundamental math basics like linear and skip counting; Also useful for teaching addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, squaring, finding the square root, and cubing; Geoboard - We used this resource, along with rubber bands, to collect pegs associated with multiplication facts (see slide 2). This is a quick, visual way for the child to make each fact and see it clearly on the board. Montessori Multiplication Board - This is another resource that helps the child visualize each multiplication fact. The child uses the board and accompanying beads to manually build each fact. Does your child have any favorite math resources for learning multiplication? What are your child’s favorite math games for practicing multiplication? I’d love to hear your thoughts, below!✨ LTKmomlife LTKKids
