Overall Evaluation of Material

Junior Learning makes this material. In addition to the multiplication board, they also have an addition board and number rods. It has a
recommended age of 1st grade to 6th grade. Students are able to press down the numbers on the board to help practice and solve
multiplication facts. It is made with bright colors and is small enough to travel and store. In addition to being a multiplication chart, it can
also just simply be a sensory tool and fidget.

I think this is a great resource for all students using multiplication facts. Many students with learning disabilities use multiplication charts to
help them with the simple math facts in larger problems. Additionally, students with ADHD are able to add more action and motion with
this resource. By popping the numbers, students are able to have a better visual of solving multiplication facts and finding the answer. I
would love to be able to add this material into my future classroom for all levels of math.

Teaching Strategies (5+) Core/State Standards (5+)

1. ADHD students are able to use motion while first learning
and practicing multiplication facts. HLP 15, 19
2. Students with ADHD can use it as a fidget tool and just get
familiar with the resource. HLP 15, 19, 20
3. ADHD students can use it for working memory. Many
students forget what they said as their answer and can
1. 6.AF.5 Solve equations of the form x + p = q, x - p = q, px =
q, and x/p = q fluently for cases in which p, q and x are all
nonnegative rational numbers. Represent real-world
problems using equations of these forms and solve such
problems.
2. 5.M.4 Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with

reference the popped-down number and have the visual.
HLP 14, 15, 19, 20
4. Students with other learning disabilities related to memory
can use it to practice multiplication facts. HLP 14, 15, 19,
20
5. Students with other learning disabilities related to memory
can use it to help solve multiplication facts that are a small
part of larger skills like area, equations, and division. HLP
12, 14, 15, 19
6. Since no English is listed on the board, ENL students can
easily use it to practice multiplication facts without being
overwhelmed by the reading and understanding of the
English language. HLP 15, 19, 20

whole-number side lengths by packing it with unit cubes,
and show that the volume is the same as would be found by
multiplying the edge lengths or multiplying the height by the
area of the base.
3. 4.C.2 Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a
one-digit whole number and multiply two two-digit
numbers, using strategies based on place value and the
properties of operations. Describe the strategy and explain
the reasoning.
4. 3.C.5 Multiply and divide within 100 using strategies such
as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g.,
knowing that 8 x 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8), or
properties of operations.
5. 3.M.5 Find the area of a rectangle with whole-number side
lengths by modeling with unit squares, and show that the
area is the same as would be found by multiplying the side
lengths. Identify and draw rectangles with the same
perimeter and different areas or with the same area and
different perimeters.
