Students learn multiplication facts 0 to 9 by strategy, one group of factors at a time. Page 1 covers ×0, ×1, ×2 and ×5. Page 2 teaches ×3 as a double plus one more group, ×4 as double then double again, and ×9 with the finger trick. Page 3 handles ×6, ×7 and ×8 by breaking off a five, so 6 × 7 is 5 × 7 plus 7, or by doubling a known fact. Students dot the facts that took a while and copy up to three.
Page 1 puts the ×0 and ×1 rows side by side, and students often swap the rules, writing 0 × 8 = 8. Have them read those two tip cards aloud before starting.
Before page 3, have students say the fact they would start from for 7 × 6: 5 × 6 = 30, plus one more 6 is 42. Ask for the starting fact out loud on the first few items.
Use the tracker as the key suggests: students say which trick fits each fact they copied, and you quiz those facts again a day or two later.
Ways to adjust the strategy pages for different students.
Each one is checked against the official document. Where the resource covers only part of a standard, the note says so.
Students learn a trick for each set of facts (zeros, doubles, skip counting by fives, the nines finger trick, using a known fact) and write products for all facts up to 9 × 9; division facts and using facts with larger numbers are not practised.
No. Every factor is 0 to 9, organised by strategy. For mixed facts to 12 × 12, see the Facts 0–12 multiplication worksheet.
