Multiplication Trick 6x6 - 10x10

This was sooooo cooool!

Check out the video on this trick.

Money Apps

The "Coin Math" app has introduction, matching, counting, shopping, and making change. All are good. I am going to start with Match the Coins.


The "Penny Me" app is good to introduce counting coins.
You have two options, quiz or count. I did not like the quiz because as soon as you miss one it gives you the option to quit. The counting one was good though.


Sum Stackers and Cash Cow are also good money apps.

Math Partner Game

Mrs. Thorne taught me a new math game.
Students work with a partner. Each student puts both hands behind their back and on each hand they put up any number of fingers. Then at the same time all hands come out and the fastest person to add up all the points (fingers) wins a point.

Can adapt to multiplication by each person using only one hand. Then multiply both numbers.
