The Hands-On Math: Multiplication Toolkit is a collection of interactive models that are commonly used to teach multiplication facts and concepts. Multiplication is a shorthand way of doing repeated addition and can be presented in a variety of ways.

Presenting multiplication in this way helps children realize that multiplication is commutative. (4 × 3 = 3 × 4 ) Another way the app helps children learn to multiply is by showing the patterns produced by marking multiples on a Hundreds Chart. In addition Flash Cards and quizzes are used to help to improve speed and accuracy.
