Multiplication facts (version 0.8)

What is it?

Multiplication facts is an interactive teaching program (ITP) which allows you to represent multiplication as repeated addition using a grid of blocks or counters. The grid can also be hidden. You first select the number of rows and columns in the grid. As the children count in steps equivalent to the number of blocks or counters in a column, you can identify each additional column using the pointers. As you do so, these are represented as steps, equivalent to the size of the column, along a number line. A similar representation appears on the screen when moving along the rows.
