Multiplication Strategies Posters

Display the posters on a math wall or put them in student folders. Students refer to them when choosing a strategy to solve a multiplication problem.

Six posters after the cover: Equal Groups, Arrays, Repeated Addition, Number Line, area model, and doubling and known facts (use 5s to find 6s). Each has a worked example, such as 3 groups of 4 apples is 3 × 4 = 12, and a How it works list of steps.

Yes. We made it for 2nd Grade to 4th Grade multiplication, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

Filled charts from 1-10, 1-12 and 1-15, in black and white or color, a page of four mini charts, and blank 10x10 and 12x12 charts to fill in, plus wall charts and a multiplication square.

Find one factor in the top row and the other in the left column. Slide one finger down and one across until they meet: that box is the product. For 7 x 8, the row and column meet at 56.

Both. A chart helps students see patterns and check their work while they learn, and the blank and partly filled charts are a simple way to move toward knowing the facts by heart.

Yes. The blank charts, the partly filled chart, the patterns page and the scavenger hunt each come with an answer key.
