It sets the ground for many advanced mathematical concepts like algebra and calculus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a primary school math teacher, you are responsible for teaching multiplication and making it fun and exciting for your class. If you get your students interested in math now, you can give them several prosperous academic years ahead. Don\u2019t stress, though, for we are here to help! Let\u2019s explore some engaging and easy ways to teach multiplication to kids.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><strong><em>Related Reading: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/blog\/best-multiplication-tricks-for-kids\/\"><em>Best Multiplication Tricks for Math Students<\/em><\/a><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"0-how-to-teach-multiplication-in-11-easy-steps-\"><strong>How to Teach Multiplication in 11 Easy Steps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"686\" height=\"386\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/how-to-teach-multiplication-in-11-easy-steps.jpg\" alt=\"A lady is teaching multiplication in an easy way\" class=\"wp-image-38614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/how-to-teach-multiplication-in-11-easy-steps.jpg 686w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/how-to-teach-multiplication-in-11-easy-steps-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/how-to-teach-multiplication-in-11-easy-steps-150x84.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 686px) 100vw, 686px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: @youtube.com\/@MathMammoth<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiplication is a fundamental math skill that opens the door to understanding advanced concepts. While the process often starts with memorizing tables, learning multiplication doesn\u2019t have to be boring or monotonous. Instead of relying solely on rote learning, there are some creative strategies that teachers and parents can use to simplify learning multiplication for kids. Here are the best strategies to teach multiplication to students:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-step-1-discourage-memorization-start-with-multiplication-as-repeated-addition-\"><strong>Step 1: Discourage Memorization: Start with Multiplication as Repeated Addition.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Students often struggle with memorization. They find it challenging to learn and implement all the tables in a problem. Some children get so scared of table memorization that they fear doing math.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To prevent this, the best strategy is to show your class the relationship between multiplication and addition. This strategy can also help students understand the multiplication concept, which is repeated addition. Before kids dive into multiplication tables, build a foundational understanding of what multiplication means conceptually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use relatable examples to show your class how multiplication is based on addition. As your class would have already learned addition in previous lessons, if not, they can easily learn addition by playing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math\/addition-games\" title=\"\">free online addition fact games<\/a>. This will make them more comfortable with multiplication in less time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can write these equations on your blackboard to help your struggling students with visuals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3 \u00d7 3 is the same as 3 + 3 + 3 (3 equal groups of 3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4 \u00d7 2 is the same as 4 + 4 (2 equal groups of 4)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to reinforce multiplication as repeated addition is through concrete models like multiplication arrays (a way to organize objects into equal groups in rows and columns), skip counting, and a number line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Multiplication Using Arrays: <\/strong>For instance, teach kids how to form and look at multiplication arrays as equal groups.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>4 rows and 3 columns = 4 equal groups of 3 = 4 \u00d7 3 = 12<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ways to Teach Multiplication Using Arrays:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>i) Use small objects like coins or buttons to create arrays (e.g., 3 rows of 4) and count the total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ii) Draw arrays on graph paper and ask kids to identify the multiplication expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>iii) <strong>Games on Multiplication with Arrays<\/strong>: In these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-games\" title=\"\">virtual math games<\/a>, kids will practice everything from understanding the rows and columns in an array to creating arrays using real-world objects to represent the given multiplication sentences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Play and master

(Zero Property of Multiplication)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before getting into complex numbers, you should show your students how multiplication by zero works in mathematics. Emphasize that adding 0 to any number always results in the same number, but after multiplying any number by 0 the product is always 0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, you can use this visual example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>n + 0 = n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But . . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>n \u00d7 0 = 0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can be understood through repeated addition. For example, 3 x 0 means adding 0 three times: 0 + 0 + 0, which equals 0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ways to Teach the Zero Property of Multiplication:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>i) Use a concrete example like 5 \u00d7 0 to explore the concept. Have your child create 5 groups with 0 objects in each and observe there\u2019s nothing in total. Then, ask if it makes sense to form 0 groups with 5 objects, reinforcing that the total is always 0.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ii) <strong>Practice Worksheets<\/strong>: In these worksheets, kids will use their understanding of the property to solve fun problems like filling in missing numbers to complete the multiplication sentences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s multiply by 0!<\/p>\n\n\n\n    <div id=\"carousel-14694-3\" class=\"recommended-games-container\">\n        <p class=\"recommended-games-container-headline\">Begin here<\/p>\n        <p class=\"recommended-games-container-desc\"><\/p>\n        <div class=\"recommended-games-container-slides\">\n            <div class=\"worksheet-card-container-outer\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/s\/math-worksheets\/missing-numbers-in-multiplication-by-0\" data-vars-ga-category=\"splashlearn_blog\" data-vars-ga-action=\"worksheets_recommendations\" data-vars-ga-label=\"post_widget\">\n                    <div class=\"worksheet-card-container-inner-block\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"worksheet-card-container-inner-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.splashmath.com\/cms_assets\/s\/math-worksheets\/missing-numbers-in-multiplication-by-0.jpeg\" alt=\"Missing Numbers in Multiplication by 0 -

Multiplication: Commutative, Associative, and Distributive<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiplication is also commutative, like addition. It means that the order of factors doesn\u2019t change the answer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply put, you can multiply two numbers in any order, and the answer will be the same. For example, the answer for 2 \u00d7 5 or 5 \u00d7 2 will be the same 10.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This property can show your students that multiplication is easier than it looks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ways to Reinforce Commutative, Associative, and Distributive Properties of Multiplication:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>i) <strong>Commutative Property<\/strong>: Ask your child to create two arrays using counters or marbles: one for the fact 3 \u00d7 5 and another for 5 \u00d7 3. Count the total number of objects in each case. Also, ask them to fill in missing numbers to complete turn-around facts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ii) <strong>Associative Property<\/strong>: Write equations like (3 \u00d7 2) \u00d7 4 and 3 \u00d7 (2 \u00d7 4) and solve to verify they\u2019re equal. Discuss how you can group numbers in any way and still get the same answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>iii) <strong>Distributive Property<\/strong>: Discuss how we can \u201cdistribute\u201d the multiplication sign across terms within parentheses, over addition or subtraction. e.g., Write 4 \u00d7 (3 + 2) and show it\u2019s the same as (4 \u00d7 3) + (4 \u00d7 2).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>iv) Print these

id=\"7-step-7-show-the-relationship-between-tables-and-discuss-patterns-\"><strong>Step 7:. Show the Relationship between Tables and Discuss Patterns<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another simple step to teaching multiplication is showing your class the relationships between tables.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When students learn tables up to 8, they already encounter multiples of 9 in other tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 \u00d7 9 = 9<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2 \u00d7 9 = 18<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3 \u00d7 9 = 27<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This reduces the need to memorize the table of 9 separately. Help kids understand how to look for multiplication facts in tables. This small relief can help to motivate students when they struggle with multiplication.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiplication tables are filled with patterns that make learning easier and more fun for students:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Table of 2<\/strong>: All results are even numbers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Table of 5<\/strong>: Results alternate between 0 and 5 (e.g., 5, 10, 155, 10, 155, 10, 15).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Table of 9<\/strong>: The digits in each result add up to 9 (e.g., 9 \u00d7 3=27, 2 + 7=9).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Symmetry<\/strong>: 3 \u00d7 4 = 12 is the same as 4 \u00d7 3 = 12.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-step-8-break-down-the-number-to-simplify-the-problem-\"><strong>Step 8: Break Down the Number to Simplify the Problem<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your students struggle with big number multiplication, you can show them how to break down the number.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, instead of multiplying 8 x 9, they can multiply as 8 x (5 + 4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They can implement the distributive property this way,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(8 \u00d7 5) + (8 \u00d7 4) = 40 + 32 = 72.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"9-step-9-tell-them-the-the-relationship-between-multiplication-and-division-\"><strong>Step 9: Tell Them the the Relationship Between Multiplication and Division<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/tell-them-the-the-relationship-between-multiplication-and-division-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Relating Multiplication and division\" class=\"wp-image-38615\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/tell-them-the-the-relationship-between-multiplication-and-division-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/tell-them-the-the-relationship-between-multiplication-and-division-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/tell-them-the-the-relationship-between-multiplication-and-division-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/tell-them-the-the-relationship-between-multiplication-and-division-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/tell-them-the-the-relationship-between-multiplication-and-division-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/tell-them-the-the-relationship-between-multiplication-and-division-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/tell-them-the-the-relationship-between-multiplication-and-division-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/tell-them-the-the-relationship-between-multiplication-and-division-747x420.jpg 747w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/tell-them-the-the-relationship-between-multiplication-and-division.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: @nagwa.com\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where you can also teach the relationship between multiplication and division. Help students understand that multiplication and division are inverse operations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if 4 \u00d7 5 = 20, then 20 \u00f7 5 = 4. Pose questions such as 4 times what number is 20? Ask them to take 20 counters and place them across 4 rows. Ask: How many counters can you see in each row? It\u2019s 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"10-step-10-use-visuals-introduce-the-area-model-method-for-2-%C3%97-2-multiplication-\"><strong>Step 10: Use Visuals: Introduce the Area Model Method for 2 <\/strong><strong>\u00d7 <\/strong><strong>2 Multiplication.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shiftelearning.com\/blog\/bid\/350326\/studies-confirm-the-power-of-visuals-in-elearning#:~:text=5.,visual%20information%20than%20text%20alone\">studies<\/a> have confirmed that students learn better through visuals. So, using visual learning aids is one of the best ways to teach multiplication to struggling students.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, students can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math\/multiplication-games\">learn multiplication through animated games<\/a>. The games let students understand the reason behind multiplication. Plus, visuals help in learning tables faster.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Area model multiplication allows students to visualize multiplication as the area of a rectangle. By dividing numbers into tens and ones, they can multiply each part and see how the products add up to the final answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, to multiply 23 \u00d7 12:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Break the numbers into tens and ones: 23 = 20 + 3 and 12 = 10 + 2.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Draw a rectangle divided into four sections.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Label the sides with 20 and 3 on one side, and 10 and 2 on the other.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Multiply each part:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>20 \u00d7 10 =200<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>20 \u00d7 2 = 40<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3 \u00d7 10 = 3<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3 \u00d7 2 =6<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the partial products: 200 + 40 + 30 + 6 = 276<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Encourage kids to draw and create their area models to represent multiplication problems. This hands-on activity helps them visualize the process and reinforces their understanding of place value and partial products. Moreover, note that this method is a bridge between conceptual models and the abstract algorithm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ways to Reinforce the Area Model Multiplication:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>i) <strong>Draw and Divide a Rectangle<\/strong>: Have your child draw a rectangle, split it into sections based on place value (e.g., 23 \u00d7 14 becomes 20 + 3 and 10 + 4), and label each section with partial products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ii) <strong>Use Graph Paper<\/strong>: Let your child use graph paper to create and fill in area models for problems, ensuring neat and proportional sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>iii) <strong>Area Model Multiplication Worksheets<\/strong>: In these activities, kids will learn to create and shade area models, fill in the missing partial products to complete the models, and break the expressions to find the product.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Practice area model multiplication with printable worksheets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n    <div id=\"carousel-14694-8\"

Games<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also use cards to teach multiplication to your students. Multiplication War is an old yet fun car game that can make multiplication learning fun.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This game has two players. The cards are dealt face down in two piles by one student after they have been shuffled. Both students flip over the top card from their face-down pile after counting down (3, 2, 1, GO!).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The set is won by the first pupil, who correctly multiplies both numbers on the cards. When all of the cards have been used, the student with the most sets wins.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to assign a number to the Ace, Queen, and King if you plan to use them from the deck. For instance, the Ace might be worth zero, the Jack might be worth one, the Queen might be worth eleven, and the King might be worth twelve. Don\u2019t forget to take out the jokers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"18-6-multiplication-bingo-\"><strong>6. Multiplication Bingo<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A fun twist on the classic bingo game, designed to practice multiplication. It helps kids match problems with their answers while having fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here is how it works<\/strong>:<br>Create bingo cards filled with random multiplication answers like 12, 24, or 36. The teacher or facilitator calls out multiplication problems, such as &#8220;6 x 6,&#8221; and players search for the correct answer on their bingo cards. If they have the answer, they mark it. The first player to complete a row, column, or diagonal shouts &#8220;Bingo!&#8221; and wins the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7. <\/strong><strong>A Friendly Math Competition<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Competition is the best way to motivate students. You can host a multiplication fact competition in your class and offer a fun reward to encourage students to learn multiplication.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how it works:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Split your class into two teams.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make two lines of students, with one line representing each team, and have them face one another.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The instructor may hold up an equation or call out a multiplication fact.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A student in the first pair (the kids facing each other) shouts out the solution.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A point is awarded to the student who responds correctly in the first place.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The instructor moves on to the following pairing as the students both sit.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The instructor continues this until every student in the line has been addressed.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The row that scores the most wins.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can give the role of scorekeeper to a student if you have an odd number of students in your class. Pairing students at the same academic level to compete against one another can benefit them, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><strong><em>Related Reading:<\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/blog\/6-ways-make-math-fun\/\"> <em>Easy Ways to Make Math Fun for Kids<\/em><\/a><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"19-conclusion-\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, using a creative approach to teaching multiplication to your students will help them learn and retain the concepts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Innovative methods can make math simple and interesting for your students.
