Synopsis:

Do your students struggle with learning, remembering and retrieving multiplication facts when performing multiplication computations? Does the struggle get greater when working with big numbers? Ever wondered if there is an alternative way to make the multiplication task easier?

Let’s consider a different approach that can produce the same result – Addition
Addition involves only two skills- adding on and renaming. Since students learn best when things are made visual and hands-on, you can get your students to make their own set of multiplication table strips and empower them to get their multiplication computations correct whether multiplying 1-digit numbers or bigger numbers.

Join our upcoming RETA session on Thursday 12 September 2024 for a chat and learn how students can use their very own multiplication strips in multiplying numbers.
