How To Teach the Multiplication Table to Kids

If you are a teacher or a parent, one of the most important things you’ll teach your kids – as far as math is concerned – is memorizing the multiplication table. Of course, it is important not to rely on sheer memorization but to begin by teaching them a) the purpose of multiplication b) what it actually means to multiply integers and c) applying it in real situations.

In order to facilitate this teaching process, we’ve developed a math guide in the form of a PowerPoint presentation containing over 40 slides. With this presentation, you will be able to teach your kids or your students the multiplication table from 0-10. Here’s a brief preview on the things included in this presentation

Introduction

The introduction contains a brief explanation of what multiplication is and why it is used. This section also features a multiplication table as shown in the images below.

Mnemonics

These mnemonics help students remember some of the tables by pointing out easily recognizble patterns. This could help the student in remembering the different tables.

Examples

What would math be without examples? We’ve included a few examples on how the multiplication table can be used. Each table contains a few examples.

Practice Problems

Once the child has memorized a particular table, it’s important to show the student how it can be used on real life problems, such as dividing a chocolate bar between friends and calculating how much everybody gets. It is always important to tie mathematics to practical problems; this will give it some proper context and make it easier to understand.

Quiz

Finally, there’s a quiz to test whether or not the student has learnt the lessons in the slides. The user can proceed once a correct answer has been given.

Printable Guides

We have included a few printable problems in the end of the presentation along with a solution guide. These have been optimized for printing but you don’t have to print them out unless you feel like doing so.

Why get this guide?
If you have kids who are shaky on their multiplication table, this guide will make it easier for them to understand it. Also, since it is available in standard PowerPoint format, you can begin the presentation and teach the students yourself by using a projector or simply by sitting together on the computer. Since it exist in this format, you can also edit the slides if you want to change anything or add something you feel is missing.
