Taming the MULTIPLICATION Monster: Learn Multiplication Facts By Understanding, Not Memorizing! - Marty Epstein - Bog

Is your child struggling to memorize multiplication facts? Try this approach instead! Most multiplication facts can be learned by understanding multiplication, recognizing just a few fun patterns, noticing a few silly coincidences (e.g., 12 = 3 x 4 and 56 = 7 x 8 hmmm...notice that these are both sequential), and leveraging the math most children already know. That's what we do in this book! Young math students will not only master multiplication facts, but this approach will help them improve their number sense and set them up to understand division (even division by fractions!). A lot of practice opportunities are provided throughout the book as well as in a dedicated section at the end. This workbook is based on how Dr. Epstein (PhD Math Ed., MS Psychology, MBA) successfully helped many students with multiplication as well as how she taught her own children multiplication. And they went on to major in Math and Physics in college and are both now pursuing STEM PhDs.
