When working with students who have difficulty just "Memorizing the Multiplication Facts", I use this Math Strategy Flipbook to help see patterns in the multiplication tables. Each page represents a lesson or mini-lesson with a group of students. These lessons look for patterns or strategies to help them remember their facts. Take a look at a finished product.

| The END. We kept track of the facts are we learned them FLUENTLY! |

| 0's and 1's. Used base unit blocks to help understand the concept. They formed the rule... I did not just tell it to them.         This flipbook is then kept as a resource by the student that created it. Why take the time to create the flipbook? It is a scaffold for students to use UNTIL they no longer need it. |

ReplyDeleteThis is great!
I think kids would feel such satisfaction after creating the flipbooks and realizing that there are so many facts they DO know! It makes it seem POSSIBLE to master them all if you can work in small steps.
Thanks for sharing this idea!
