Multiplication Strategies

Are your students struggling to recall basic multiplication facts? Are they skip-counting by a given number for every problem they encounter? As a way to improve their fact fluency, why not teach them some mental math multiplication strategies? Teach Starter has developed a set of posters you can use with your students to help them with mental math strategies.

With this download, you will receive 1 title poster and 9 strategy posters covering the following:

• Double-Double
• Use a Known Fact
• Zero Facts
• Double and Halve
• And More!

How to Make the Most of Your Mental Math Posters

1. Print the posters and display them in your classroom for students to reference when doing independent work.
2. Print the poster, slip it into a clear sleeve, and use it in your guided groups as a reminder.
3. Print the posters, slide them into a clear sleeve, and hang them on a ring as a reference tool for a learning center. 

We’ve also come up with bonus ways to turn posters into interactive tools that really make your lessons stick! 

📂 Place copies in students’ homework folders for reference. 

🧠 Test students’ memories by showing them the poster, then hiding it and having them tell you what they remember.

✅ Incorporate posters into your lesson wrap-up: students write on a sticky note what they learned from the lesson and place it on the poster.
