Rules are given for two games designed to help students learn the multiplication facts. (MK)

Discusses a number series made from the multiplication of numbers to digits. Presents a number series for diverse multiplication numbers. (YP)

The described game provides children with practice in multiplying by three and in comparing the values of sets of coins. (SD)

Four activities and related worksheets are provided. The activities, all concerned with multiplication, are directed toward students at different levels, and deal with repeated addition, basic facts, and factorization. (SD)

Magic squares are used to generate number games similar to tic-tac-toe. Skills that are reinforced include addition of negative numbers and addition and multiplication of fractions. (MP)

Four activity sheets are given, presenting two-player games on matching, addition, and multiplication. (MP)

Upper elementary school students created their own algorithms for finding products of whole numbers. The algorithms were similar to familiar ones for finding products involving 9 and 11. (SD)

A calculator activity, described as a bingo game, emphasizes speedy calculations as well as problem solving. (JT)

Some of the problems of learning disabled students which make teaching arithmetic difficult include: symbol-object relationships, reversibility of functions, perceptual deficits, multiplication tables, division tasks, word problems, and place values. Among suggestions for teachers are presenting and setting up problems according to students'…

How multiplication is usually taught in school and how it could be taught are discussed. Development of understanding is illustrated through children's words and work. (MNS)

The article reviews the development of mathematics error analysis as a means of diagnosing students' cognitive reasoning. Errors specific to addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are described, and suggestions for remediation are provided. (CL)

It is seen as important that mathematics teachers encourage open, imaginative investigations that give students an opportunity to probe, find patterns and relations, and derive new patterns and relations. The article focuses on multiplication tables and classes, including questions for further exploration. (MP)

Drill activities for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division that are derived from the history of mathematics are suggested. (MK)

Activities that can be used for maintenance of computational skills and can lead to the discovery of a pattern verifiable by an algebraic procedure are noted. The language of algebra is used in nonroutine settings, with several challenges for further exploration. (MP)

A new approach to teaching the division of common fractions is described. The approach is related to the multiplication operation and involves children working with concrete materials. (MK)
