Multiplication Charts

For parents

The multiplication charts follow the bead board and carry the times tables into memory. On Chart 1 every product from 1 × 1 to 9 × 9 waits where two sliding fingers meet; Chart 2 keeps only half the facts, so your child discovers that 3 × 5 and 5 × 3 are one fact. On the working chart the grid is blank: your child places all 81 answer tiles from memory and checks against the control chart — the material corrects, not the adult. Print the control charts to keep beside pencil-and-paper times-table practice.
