More+Multiplication+Links

Sites to help students become fluent with their multiplication facts: ** PART 1 – Sites that help students visualize what multiplication is about- **

These 2 sites connect multiplication to repeated addition: [] []

These 4 sites give students hands-on experience with array models that help students understand multiplication properties:

[] (The multiplication problems can be changed by simply moving the square markers up/down and left/right.)

[] (I had trouble with this one working well in Safari, but you try Firefox or Internet Explorer.)

[] (This one is really cute and simple, yet effective!)

[] (Change the multiplication problem by moving the sliders. This can be used in grades 3-6, as students can also create problems with negative factors.)

** PART 2 – Sites that bring times tables to life with games and sound effects - ** [] (I really like this site. Check out the other links available off this game site.) ** PART 3 – Sites that give students multiplication practice in a variety of fun contexts- ** [] (Students play a timed version of Matho) [] (Students pick a number to practice times tables; unlimited number of problems for each times table; easy exit to return to main forest from which you can create a new set of problems) [] (This site is still in the development stage, but is worth checking out. Each table cycles through five times and students try to beat the “red rising thermometer” for each basic fact.) [] (This site has 3 different levels worth different points; student accumulates points with correct answers and 10 points are deducted for incorrect answers. Easy reset bottom to start new game.) [] (reviews facts from 1 x 1 up to 10 X 10 in a matching game format; will not allow   incorrect answers; easy to play and worthwhile review) [] (basic, hard-core practice, choose levels and timer options) ** PART 4 – Sites that are interactive two-player games that require use of multiplication facts- ** ** [] ** ** (The Product Game, developed by NCTM, is fun, interactive, thought-provoking and utiliizes knowledge of factors & products.) ** ** []. ** (set-up is like playing “Connect Four;” 3 levels from which to choose, timer may be set; strategy involved as well as knowing basic facts; level 3 is great for mental math of 2 digit times one digit multiplication problems.)
