Teach Multiplication with LEGO® Brick Grouping Boards
Disclosure: Below you will find affiliate products at Amazon.com that you can use along with these grouping boards to teach the concept of multiplication to your children.
Teaching multiplication to children can be a daunting task. How many times have you felt like you were hitting a brick wall? Sometimes it’s like, one day your child can recite the multiplication table with ease and the next day they look at you with a blank stare. Maybe you have just given up hope that they will never get it.
Multiplying with LEGO Bricks Printable Grouping Boards
I must say that is how I felt when I was in school learning multiplication; like I would never get it. I still struggle to this day because I was not taught the basic concept of multiplication. I was simply expected to memorize a table of information.
Multiplication is simply the act of grouping items into sets of numbers. Once you learn that objects can be grouped by sets then the table makes more sense doesn’t it? That’s why I’ve created these Multiplying with LEGO® Bricks Grouping Boards.
The best way to use these are to print them on card stock, then run them through your descktop laminator and have your child or student use dry erase markers to solve the problems. This way you can use them over and over again for each of your children.
