What this lesson shows
6 × 7 as 6 × 6 + 6; 9s as tens minus one group; 12s as tens plus twos.
The worked example
The lesson works this one step by step: 6 × 7. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.
The steps
- One more group
- Nines: ten groups minus one
- Twelves: ten groups plus two groups
Helping at home
For each hard fact, ask which easy fact is close: one group less, ten groups, or a square. Build from it out loud. No timer: speed comes after the strategy is sure.
If your kid gets stuck
Which easy fact is close?
