Multiplication Facts That Stick: Help Your Child Master the Multiplication Facts for Good in Just Ten Weeks (Facts That Stick, 3)

I wish I had this book for my older kids when they were learning their multiplication facts! This workbook is a fun way to help children master their multiplication facts 1-10. My kids are always excited to work on it! My son just finished the workbook and has completely mastered his facts. My daughter is halfway through and completely master what she has learned so far. The workbook is set up to do five days a week. Everyday you play a game and do two multiplication worksheets plus some extra activities that are usually different each day. There are step by step directions each day for each lesson, which makes it easy for the parent. I would recommend this to everyone that is learning their multiplication. It's an excellent workbook!!

I also wanted to comment on the person that said it was a teachers manual/edition. They obviously didn't look through the workbook. This is for the parent and child to work on together. This is not something you give to your child to do on their own. I noticed that review when I was looking at the workbook and wasn't sure if I should get it because of the review. My suggestion is to disregard it because it's not correct.

My daughters had a difficult time remembering their multiplication facts. I found this book through the homeschooling podcast called The Homeschool Sisters. They featured Kate Snow as one of their guests and she impressed me. This takes you step-by-step each day with games and practice sheets for all multiplication facts up to x10. I added x11 and x12 facts by following their style. My girls know their multiplication facts inside and out now!

This is a great way to master the multiplication facts because 1) it increases understanding rather than straight memorization and 2) it's fun!! I did this program with my 6 and 8 year old kids. We homeschool and use Math Mammoth as our core curriculum. This program fits well with MM3A. My 6 year old (advanced in math) did very well with this, but sometimes I would have him do the worksheets verbally and wasn't as strict with him completing them as my older child. I would think this is typically completed around 3rd grade or 8 years old. The child should already understand the concept of multiplication prior to beginning this book.

I recommend watching Kate Snow's YouTube video on this book for a thorough idea of what the book is like, but basically each day is structured as follows: quick intro on the week's facts by the parent and instruction 1 day/week, recite multiplication facts (usually done on the swing for my kids :) ), game to practice facts, and two sided worksheet.

A couple of tips:
- 3/4 inch Bingo chips work really well with the author's ten frames and matrix. You can buy a lot of them for cheap on Amazon.
- I find Kate Snow's materials to be rather hands on by the parent. Which is great, but if you have preschoolers / toddlers, these lessons HAD to be done during nap time.
- If the author provided the game boards and worksheets in pdf, that would save me a boatload of time. So, since that is not available, I carefully tore each page out on the perforation, scanned to my computer, saved the files by week, and stored the original paper in a separate binder. I printed the pages from the scanned version for each kid each week. Then I was left with a sorry looking, droopy paperback book with half the pages missing. It's a fine approach, but it would be a lot easier for the user to get a pdf with the purchase. Since we did not use the originals, I will be able to use this again with my younger kids.
- I feel strongly that my children should memorize multiplication facts up to 12 as well as the x15 facts. I had my kids recite the facts up to x12 (rather than x10) each day.

My kids have a very solid recall of the multiplication facts. Maybe not the recommended 3 - 5 seconds quite yet, but I think they will be there soon as they complete their core math program. I plan to do the Division Facts That Stick book, but it is possible I won't if the kids are able to recall those facts quickly without the program. We did Addition Facts That Stick, but not Subtraction Facts That Stick since my kids were easily able to use the addition facts to figure out the subtraction facts, so the book was not needed for us.

I recently attended parent-teacher conferences for my 3rd grader. I was told he really needed to be working on his multiplication facts. We had tried flash cards, but practicing 100% verbally wasn't helping for a written test. I finally broke down and bought this book. I am so glad I finally did. This book is HUGE! It is so well laid out and easy to follow. The book is full of game boards and practice pages that are perforated for easy removal. It is also printed on high quality paper. Best of all my son is actually enjoying it and is finally starting to conquer his multiplication facts.

Used with 10 year old son who is great at math but not very fluent with multiplication facts; therefore math equations take longer.

After having tried flashcards, worksheets, and numerous other ways to learn the multiplication tables, we were given the opportunity to pilot test this book. Multiplication Facts That Stick was a lifesaver! These games didn't take much time. They were simple and enjoyable to play, and the facts stuck! My son said, "It worked like magic, and I didn't know magic was real!"

Enjoying this asa supplement to my homeschooling 3rd grader’s curriculum. She loves the games and they are really helping g her learn the facts without realizing she’s even practicing them : )

KATE SNOW HAS DONE IT AGAIN! WE HAVE ALL HER BOOKS AND SHE TRULY DOES AN AMAZING JOB.

My 3rd grader and I have been working the Multiplication Facts that Stick program and are up to the 6's now. I felt as though we'd tried everything when I ordered this, but were no closer to mastering the facts. I am amazed at the success we've had thus far with this program. The size of the book was intimidating to both of us upon arrival, but once we dove into the individual lessons, we learned they're perfectly sized for quick but effective learning. He's legit learning them. I can't wait to finish and have them behind us. I'll buy the division book next and save a lot of heartache when it's time.

I used this with my 2nd grader learning his multiplication facts for the first time and as a review for my 4th grader. This really helped my older child memorize his math facts (without even realizing it) and was a game changer in being able to take on more complex math concepts. They both loved the games, and the facts truly did "stick" for them! I received a free advance copy of this book.
