Learning the Multiplication Facts: As my daughter moved into learning her
multiplication facts I looked around for the kind of multiplication practice that would help her.
The math book she was using went through the math facts a bit too quickly for her. She needed
quite a bit of repetition and wanted bright, colorful worksheets. I wound up making my own
sets of practice pages and games. She loved that! Be sure to check out our Multiplication
Bundle here at this post: Learning the Multiplication Tables 2s thru 9s (or see the purchase link
to buy our bundle of 12 pdfs in Our Store) Here are some sample pictures:
There are actually more than 255 pages… I keep adding to the bundle! 😊
What order did my daughter learn her math facts? 2s, 5s, 10s, 3s, 6s and 7s (because those
skip counting songs were easy for her!), 4s, 9s, 8s.
Here are some of the 4s pages:
