Learners will master their multiplication facts through 12s in just 4 weeks! They will then learn how to apply this basic fact knowledge to solve multi-digit multiplication problems in the final week of the class.

Learners will:
👀 watch engaging videos to learn new skills
🕹️participate in Kahoot and Blooket games
✖️practice using specially designed flash cards that give a visual clue of the skills/strategy taught


💬Here is what one Outschool parent had to say about this class:
"My 8yo learner really liked this class and it helped her memorize her facts! We enrolled because she had trouble remembering her multiplication facts and the teacher provided fun stories and cartoons and songs to help memorize, plus had fun tricks and games my learner really enjoyed. It really helped my learner and I’m so grateful she had this class!"


This multi-sensory approach helps kids finally memorize their multiplication facts because it activates different parts of the brain through:
-stories
-songs
-chants
-rhymes
-drawings
-games
-game playing
-hand motions
-visualization
-association
-mnemonics

This multiplication facts class is like NO OTHER! I use a researched-based proven strategy to support learners in finally memorizing their multiplication facts. In fact, a recent study with 562 learners showed that standardized math scores significantly increased after learning multiplication facts using this unique strategy. Studies have also shown a 33% ⬆️ increase in multiplication fact retention over other more conventional methods for memorizing facts. This is a multi-sensory approach that reaches all learning styles. We don't just PRACTICE multiplication facts in this class. We LEARN them and commit them to LONG TERM MEMORY!


After using this strategy:
💬 Kids say, "It's easy because you have mind pictures instead of trying to think on your fingers."
💬 Parents say, "After struggling for a year, my son knew every fact within a month."
💬 Teachers say, "I just gave the post-test. This system really works!"



This is a Self-Paced class meaning THERE ARE NO LIVE MEETINGS. Learners move AT THEIR OWN PACE while watching engaging, instructional videos of myself teaching the lessons. They will practice along with the recording, pausing to give themselves time to solve the problems, then starting the video when they are ready to check their work. After class, they can practice their skills with links I'll send to Kahoot and Blooket. They will also have a set of specially designed flash cards they can use to practice that show visual prompts for the skills we learn each week. 

💡Why a Self-Paced class vs. a class with live meetings?
✔️1. You can learn the content on your OWN time at your OWN pace!
✔️2. You can rewatch the videos as many times as necessary for you to master the content.
✔️3. You can schedule times to meet with me LIVE over Zoom if necessary!
✔️4. Lesson delivery is personalized for YOU! You can move more quickly through material you may already know, and take more time on material and skills that are new for you.

🎓A bit about my qualifications to teach this class:
I am Ms. Kelly, the owner and founder of Leaves of Learning Academy and I am the teacher of this Self-Paced class. I have been teaching 4th grade for 26 years! I have spent thousands of hours teaching thousands of students these multiplication strategies using this research-based, proven strategy for long term retention of the skills! 98%-100% of my 4th graders pass the Ohio State Test in Mathematics and over 75% score at the "accomplished" and "accelerated" levels each year. I am also rated "accomplished," the highest rating a teacher can receive in Ohio. Welcome to my online classroom! 👩🏻‍🏫
