Matemáticas musicales: memorizar las tablas de multiplicación a través de canciones

In each live class session, we will learn a new song for the multiplication fact numbers that are challenging  (the 3’s, 4’s, 6’s, 7’s, 8’s, and 9’s). I will teach the song first a few times by singing it as I play guitar. Students will join in and sing the song with me a few more times. Then students will try to sing the song independently. No student solos required. I will demonstrate how to use the songs to practice multiplication facts. We will practice solving multiplication facts. The live class session consists of (1) a discussion of strategies for solving a multiplication problem, (2) the introduction of a new memorization song and direct instruction on how to use the song to solve multiplication facts, (3) practice time for the song, (4) sharing memorization and use of the song in solving multiplication facts, and (5) a recap of the class session with instructions for homework and what to expect next time.
