Multiplication in Motion
See the patterns. Discover the relationships. Make multiplication make sense.
7 × 8 in 5 Ways
One multiplication fact. Five ways to see it. Select a strategy and watch the array reveal the relationship.
Notice: The arrangement changes, but the product remains 56. Understanding these relationships means there are fewer facts to memorize separately.
What will we explore next?
Each new animation will reveal a mathematical idea through movement, visual models, and flexible thinking.
3 × 5 and 5 × 3
Same product. Different structure. See how changing the arrangement connects two multiplication expressions.
Multiply by 9 Using 10
Start with a familiar multiple of 10 and remove one equal group to discover a new fact.
Double What You Know
See how doubling a familiar multiplication fact can help build another one.
Break Apart 12
Use 10 and 2 to turn multiplication by 12 into two familiar, connected facts.
Understand more. Memorize less.
A multiplication fact can often be understood in several ways. A visual model helps children notice what changes, what stays the same, and how a fact they already know can help them solve another.
These animations are designed to make that thinking visible. There is no need to rush through them. Choose a strategy, watch what happens, and explore the relationship at your own pace.
