Students will go through multiple strategies to learn, understand, and master each fact. These can be stuck in children’s books or printed and laminated for repeat use/use with concrete resources or manipulatives. This is a great resource for both pupils just beginning to learn their multiplication facts as well as those who may need further intervention.
