Six ways to explore multiplication

• Equal groups
• Repeated addition
• Arrays
• Area model
• Break apart
• Friendly numbers

Support from examples to independent practice

Each strategy includes an explanation, a worked example, guided practice, independent practice, and a create-your-own page. Reflection prompts encourage learners to notice which approaches make sense to them.

An answer key that helps explain the thinking

Worked answer pages are included in the book. They show the steps so learners can compare their approach, notice where a mistake may have happened, and revisit the strategy with an adult. Use them to support understanding as well as check answers.

Who it’s for

For learners who benefit from visual instruction, clear steps, and flexible ways to solve multiplication problems, including learners with dyscalculia, ADHD, dysgraphia, or math anxiety. Use at home, during tutoring, or as part of classroom intervention.
