Winter Games: Short Multiplication Solitaire

February 27, 2020 by Kathleen Cotter Clayton

Who’s ready for a new game?? Dr. Cotter’s been a busy lady and has a new game ready for you all!

This surprisingly fun game will have the players perfecting their multiplication facts while working on their strategy skills.

Here’s the video as well as the written instructions.

For those of you unfamiliar with Short Multiplication Chart, let me walk you through how to use it.

This first fact of 6 × 6 is as expected.

Now this next one of 4 × 8 is where the Short Multiplication chart differs. Once we get to the “end of the line” with 4 × 4…

…turn the corner and keep going four more spaces to find 4 × 8.

Here’s another example for you. See how we turned the corner to find the answer?

You could also have done 9 × 7 to get the same answer!

Enjoy this new way of looking at the multiplication chart as well as the new game!

Thank you so much for your RightStart Math Curriculum. I have been using it for 3 years with my son and my daughter is beginning her second year. I love the strategies you use for teaching math and the lessons are fun to teach.

My daughter is 7 and this is our 2nd year to use RightStart Math. She is in 2nd grade and is adding and subtracting 4 digits numbers with trading like it is nothing. She also can do her multiplications. The most amazing thing is that when she is somewhere and has to spend her money she is quick to tell them how much change she needs back. I have seen a lot of teenagers and adults who cannot do thi… Read more

My daughter is in 4th grade this year. Math has always been a struggle for her, as it was for her father. I discovered that she has dyslexia (which is hereditary). I didn’t realize that had any effect on math, but I found out that people with dyslexia cannot learn with rote memorization or sequential skills. This makes it harder for them to remember math facts or how to do algorithms. Before I kne… Read more
