Multiplication idea bank. * lots of activities for beginning multiplication > I am going to introduce multiplication; any advice on how -- > a good, easy way? > kali, 11/08/00 Use oodles of manipulatives.

" 2) Turn multiplication problems into rectangles. The more expensive but more effective way to make rectangles is with Cuisenaire rods. I wanted so badly for my students to each have a set of "Cuisenaire rods" to use at home that we made our own 2D version. Anyhow, the students colored and cut up all these strips and put them in an envelope with a clasp (actually, a ziploc bag would be better) for taking back and forth between home and school. Enough!!
