Ep 34: Multiplication Facts: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Pt 1

In this episode Pam and Kim begin the first of another series: Multiplication Facts! What role can mathematizing and real math play in helping kids master their multiplication facts? Listen in as Pam and Kim outline the differences between 'knowing' and 'memorizing' multiplication facts. 
Talking Points:

• Why multiplication facts are important
• The difference between knowing and memorizing facts
• How to get rid of all the stress around multiplication facts
• Is the goal to get through memorizing the facts, or to develop multiplicative reasoning?

We recommend brushing up on episodes 5 & 6 in preparation for this series. Understanding what it means to develop multiplicative reasoning is so important!
