How to Teach Multiplication – 7 Fun and Effective Ways
This post may contain affiliate links.
Sharing is caring!
Many parents stress about how to teach multiplication. Memorizing times tables can be a mathematical sticking point for many kids, causing frustration for parents and children. Parents often worry if children don’t understand multiplication right away, but you don’t need to worry about how to teach multiplication.
Every math curriculum covers multiplication, but sometimes we need to add in extra activities to really help our kids grasp this skill. Utilizing different strategies can really help. Different kids ‘click’ with different ways of learning.
When teaching multiplication it is important to cover two aspects:
- Math Concept
These ideas about how to teach multiplication work well together. Teaching a concept or skill through a variety of approaches is a great way to make sure that we are including various learning styles. It also gives our kids multiple chances to practice.
How to Teach Multiplication
Hands-On Manipulatives
If you are wondering how to teach multiplication, I highly recommend investing in a few hands-on manipulatives.
Hands-on manipulatives are great for helping kids understand the concept of multiplication. This strategy works well for a variety of learning types. Kinesthetic learners benefit from manipulating the items, visual learners see multiplication in action, and auditory learners will hear your explanation.
Candy – Candy was a favorite hands-on manipulative for my kids when they were learning multiplication facts. First, they would model multiplication problems, then they would eat the candy. Keeping kids interested in memorizing multiplication tables is easy when candy is involved.
Our favorite candies for multiplication were M&Ms, Skittles, and Hershey’s Kisses. Chocolate chips work too!
Learning Wrap-Ups
- MULTIPLY THE FUN: Learning Wrap-ups presents Multiplication Wrap-up Keys! This set contains 10 self-correcting keys that total up to 120 times facts…
- HOMEWORK AID: Help kids learn with flashcards, tables, charts, manipulatives, and Learning-Wrap-ups! With wrap-ups, wrap the string from the problem on…
- TEACH & TUTOR: Whether you’re tutoring in an elementary school classroom or you’re a homeschool teacher, you’ll find Learning Wrap-Ups to be one of…
Last update on 2024-08-19 / Affiliate links / Images from Amazon Product Advertising API
Learning Wrap-Ups are sort of like tactile flash cards. The multiplication set contains a plastic ‘card’ for each number 1 – 12. Each card focuses on one factor.
For example, on the 3 card kids will practice 1 x 3 through 12 x 3. The factors on the left of the card are multiplied by the number in the middle (in this example 3). Students use the attached string to match the factor with the answer on the right of the card.
I used learning wrap-ups when I was a kindergarten teacher and with my own kids.
There are also sets for addition, subtraction, and division. My favorite part of the wrap-ups is that they are self-checking. Once kids have finished matching the factors and answers all they need to do is flip the card over. A line is printed with the correct string path.
Multiplication Games for Kids
Multiplication games for kids can be a fun way to review math skills. Extra math practice will help the multiplication facts ‘stick’. We don’t need to worry about how to teach multiplication if the kids are having so much fun that they ask to practice.
Making learning fun is the best way to help kids develop a positive math attitude.
Math Splat Multiplication
- 2-6 players
- Cards measure 3-1/2″ X 2-1/4″
2 – 6 Players
Multiplication Splat will help kids increase their speed in solving multiplication problems.
Players try to match up their multiplication problems to the answer cards. The first player to match up all of their cards wins.
Multiplication Bingo
- Master fact families with options for differentiating with multiplication or division
- Fun for large or small group use
- Set includes: 36 playing cards, over 700 chips, caller’s mat and cards, and a sturdy storage box
3 – 36 Players
Bingo is a great multiplication game for kids because it can be played by a crowd, making it perfect for a classroom or homeschool co-op. This is a fun game for reviewing multiplication facts.
- Game Cards for math play
- 3 challenge levels
- 48 double-sided, 4” x 4” cards. 1 Dot, 2 Dot & 3 Dot.
24 Game is a small card game that reinforces addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. I liked to keep it in my co-op and field trip bags to use anytime we had a few extra minutes of time to kill.
The goal of the game is to add, subtract, multiply, and/or divide the four numbers on the card to equal 24. The first person to do that wins the card.
These multiplication games for kids can be used as a lesson or during family game time.

Multiplication Videos
Multiplication videos are a great supplement as part of how to teach multiplication. Some kids really respond to this learning style.
Times Tales
- Audience Rating: PG (Parental Guidance Suggested)
The Times Tales multiplication video uses visual cues to help kids memorize multiplication facts. This tactic works especially well for visual learners.
I kept a copy of the Times Tales DVD in my minivan and would play it when we were driving around town. I rarely allowed my kids to watch DVDs during short rides, so watching this multiplication video felt like a treat.
There are also multiplication math videos on YouTube.
Multiplication Online Games
When you are thinking about how to teach multiplication, don’t overlook utilizing multiplication games online. Kids usually get excited about screen time, so this can be a win-win. Students have screen time AND they practice their multiplication skills.
It is an easy way to practice multiplication strategies.
