Hi! It’s Monday, February 22, 2010 and time for Math at ClickSchooling!
Recommended Website:
Multiplication.com
This commercial website, offers free video lessons on how to learn the multiplication times tables from 0-9, through the use of mnemonic memory devices. These learning tools help kids associate rhymes, stories, pictures and activities with arithmetic to make memorization easier.
The premise is to address the learning modalities of every student. Each lesson uses pictures for the visual learner, stories for the auditory learner, and an activity for the kinesthetic learner who learns by moving, doing, and touching.
When you get to the website you’ll see a way to explore the basics of this method and learn more about it. In addition, you’ll find a pre-test to determine which multiplication facts are problematic for your child/student.
Then, use the menu on the left side of the screen to access lessons on how to teach the times tables from zero through nine.
As I mentioned, this is a commercial website. The freebie is an introduction to their books, games, and other math resources available for purchase.
