Motivating and Fun Materials to Master our Multiplication Facts

Help me give my students materials and games that will help them master their multiplication facts.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ruiz's classroom raised $192

My Project

It is essential that our fourth and fifth graders master their multiplication facts. A large majority of skills from fourth grade and on require mastery of multiplication facts.

If students are having fun while learning their multiplication facts, they will be more motivated to take the time that is required to master these facts.

These multiplication games and interactive materials will give my students the push they need to spend time daily working on their multiplication facts. Learning can in fact be fun. I would definitely argue that if students have fun while learning they are more likely to be engaged and will also more likely retain the knowledge. Mastering one's multiplication facts from an early age can make a major difference in their success when it comes to math class in middle school and high school.
