As my daughter enters the 3rd Grade (8 years old), she'll be working on memorizing her multiplication facts from 0 through 12. My experience as a Mathematics teacher is that memorizing multiplication facts, like it or not, makes life a lot easier in today's Mathematics classroom.
At home, I downloaded Timez Attack for her to practice her facts. She absolutely loves this game and has advanced way past my expectations. At school, I hope her teacher takes advantage of some of the outstanding interactive websites that are dedicated to helping kids learn, understand, and practice their multiplication facts.
Here's a good collection of interactive multiplication review activities for the classroom that work great on the SMART Board.
Multiplication Tables - Interactive Arithmetic ExerciseHelping with Math . com - Multiplication Games (main sites has ads but the activities are great with the SMART Board)
Multiplication.com - The Ants Go Marching...
Please share any other interactive multiplication applications that work great on a SMART Board.
