Multiplication Facts - Only 36 Fact Families to Master!
Here are some steps to help students master their multiplication facts!
Learn the facts that have rules:
Learn the 5s. Learn to count by 5s to 50. Write the equations out in a list. Look for the patterns. See if you can find a trick to remember them.
Print the multiplication table. Mark out the facts that you know. If you know your 1s, 2s, 5s,and 10s, you will find that you only have to learn 21 more facts. Remember that 7 x 6 is the same as 6 x 7.
Printable Multiplication Table
Select one multiplication table to learn at a time. This means learning by multiples of 3, 4 etc. By the time you learn the more difficult tables such as the 7s and 8s, you will already know several facts.
Ask everyone around you to quiz you on your fact family. This will help keep it in your head.
Repeat with a different fact family when you have mastered one. There are only 36 fact families to learn if you know the rules for 0, 1, and 10.

Unity
By Cleo V. Swarat
I dreamed I stood in a studio
And watched two sculptors there,
The clay they used was a young child’s mind
And they fashioned it with care.
One was a teacher
The tools she used were books and music and art;
One was a parent
With a guiding hand and gentle loving heart.
And when at last their work was done,
They were proud of what they had wrought.
For the things they had worked into the child
Could never be sold or bought!
And each agreed she would have failed
if she had worked alone.
For behind the parent stood the school,
and behind the teacher stood the home!
