multiplication

We are beginning multiplication this week. You will see that on the children's fact sheets beginning on Wednesday.

I start off teaching multiplication by having the children skip count. To multiply by 2, they skip count by 2; to multiply by 3, they skip count by 3; to multiply by 4, they skip count by 4; to multiply by 5, they skip count by 5, etc.

This should help to get them off to a good start in multiplication.
