INTRODUCTION TO INSTRUCTIONAL MULTIPLICATION
The Teach Your Children Math Well Multiplication module provides instruction and practice in basic multiplication concepts through to complex computations. The program consists of 43 lessons. The first lessons introduce multiplication concepts, counting by numbers other than one, algebra multiplication, and multiplication facts. The second part continues instruction and practice in column multiplication with and without renaming, multiplication with zeros, and solving complex multiplication problems. Each lesson will take a student about 10 to 20 minutes to complete.
THE PLACEMENT TEST
When students first begin the Multiplication module, they must complete a Placement Test. The Placement Test presents examples of various problem types. Errors are corrected as the student takes the test. Based on the error data, the student either continues with the test or is told which lesson s/he will begin within the program.
